[QUOTE="Superpsy, post: 202953, member: 5848"] Like I said, many people choose to carry concealed weapons. Somehow life has managed to go on and get this; rarely does anyone notice (it is easier to hide in clothes than you would expect). I'm sure given enough time we could come up with enough "what ifs" and hypothetical scenarios about other things as well. Let's look at facts: Utah state law already allows anyone with a concealed weapons permit to carry on school grounds. I have not heard of any situations like you describe. This change in policy (as far as I know) does not "ask anything of anyone." No one is forced to do anything against their will; or to act as police officers. I dont think the comparison between prison and public school, guards and teachers and the implied convicts and students is a good one. We would have to make a completely different set of assumptions aaaand I think thats a separate thread all by itself. :winking: It most definitely would be your right to take your child out of the school. I don't know what parents in the district (in Texas and Utah) think of the policy/law and I haven't heard of any backlash. Sticking with the facts and history of concealed weapons permits...there has been no incident like this. I would rather have a chance to fight back and increase possibility of survival rather than cower behind a desk. My intent here was not to change anyone's mind. I just wanted to clear some misconceptions. [/QUOTE]
