A nearby county with 3 school districts is exploring training and arming school staff members. Just over the line in Ohio, the process has already been set in motion.
Also- our local sherriff (Pat's boss), is on the front page of the local paper quoting that gun permit applications are flying out of his office. Best quote in the article: there are already 2300 guns laws on the books we don't need anymore.

I see the recent shootings going back to the Senator shooting out west as a failure of Mental health laws, not gun laws. For example: Apparently Indiana has only 133 beds in its state mental health hospital- according to an article in this week's newspaper. Based on the disfunctional familes that my students are parts of- there could be enough people to fill those beds in my town alone.

Get the mentally ill help, and I bet tragedies like Sandy Hook disappear.
