Guns in your kid's classroom. Columbus Police Commander: "You can have as many dead bodies as you're willing to legislate."
The Ohio House passed a bill to allow teachers to carry guns in the classroom after just 20 hours of CCW training. I think it's a bad idea. “We have to arm these teachers to give these kids a fighting chance," Rep. Phil Plummer (R-Dayton), said. "This isn't that bad of a bill." 'This isn't that bad' is the best thing he could say about it. Yes, it is that bad. https://www.statenews.org/government-politics/2021-11-17/ohio-house-passes-bill-lowering-training-requirements-for-armed-teachers-and-school-staffI ABSOLUTELY DO NOT WANT A GUN BATTLE TO ERUPT IN MY GRANDKIDS' CLASSROOM!
This could happen, from the opening of this NYT article: https://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/25/nyregion/police-decision-to-shoot-in-midtown-left-9-wounded.html
"As the two officers confronted a gunman in front of the Empire State Building on a busy Friday morning, they had to make a snap decision: Do they open fire in the middle of Midtown?"
"From a distance of LESS THAN 10 FEET, the officers, Craig Matthews and Robert Sinishtaj, answered in unison; one shot nine times and the other seven."
"Investigators believe at least 7 (not even half) of those 16 bullets struck the gunman, said Paul J. Browne, the Police Department’s chief spokesman. But the officers also struck some, if not all, of the nine bystanders who were wounded."
Nine bystanders, like your kids, were wounded, some by the officers and some by the gunman. School boards must shut down this option.
