So if no "weapons on school grounds" is such a great law why have there been so many school shootings?
Remember when they were pushing the weapons exclusion zones for around schools? I don't remember the exact distance but it was something like 1/4 mile. Sit down at a county map, set a compass to that distance and draw a circle around every public and private school. That would have impacted a bunch of people.

Jeeze! I take four lousy days leave from work and come back to find my E-mail in-box screaming for attention -- apparantly that lady really, really, really want me to participate in the Leave-Share Program. And why do "them's that can" authorize a holiday pass, wait until I've spent a day's leave on it anyway?
Pete , you asked, "if no "weapons on school grounds" is such a great law why have there been so many school shootings?" Because the ones who do the school shootings aren't
like you. They aren't law-abidding folks that take the trouble to comply with the law
like you. They are, however, also the ones that the full time weapon carrying LEO is waiting for.
As for the exculsion zone? Cooler, smarter heads prevailed and the 1/4 mi radius (or whatever it was) was scrapped. Because it was stupid. But, having the exclusion zone start at the School Yard Gate? That makes sense.
Pete, you are very experienced with employing weapons correctly (most here are). I'm sure when your kids are around weapons (regardless of style) the only thing safer then the weapon is your kid.
Here is my question: Why are we willing to abandon everyone's safety to protect every individual's access? And no cussin' at other QP's allowed
