Survey shows nearly two dozen Ohio schools authorize carrying of guns to improve kids safety | Buckeye Firearms Association

Proof that some people seem to understand what is needed to protect our children in an education setting.

Saturday, December 14, 2013 marks the one year anniversary since a coward murdered his mother, stole her gun and her car, then drove to Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. There he broke a window through which he entered the school, murdered several administrators then walked down the hallway and shot teachers before killing a classroom full of children. All told he brutally murdered his mother, six school employees and 20 innocent children before committing suicide.

Buckeye Firearms Foundation recently surveyed school employees to find out what has changed in the year since the Newtown killings. The information below is from just over 300 responses taken from school teachers, administrators and other employees who signed up to be trained to carry firearms in schools.

There are at least 20 different school districts in Ohio that have authorized individuals such as teachers, administrators and parents to carry firearms in schools. The list includes rural, urban and suburban schools. It includes public, private and parochial schools. It covers small, medium and large schools and all grade levels. Those authorized include teachers, administrators and others. In short, it is a cross section of Ohio, and the United States of America.
 
In Kansas it's legal to carry in schools now except for where it's posted. Guess what? It's still posted in most schools. Hopefully that will change in time.
 
In Michigan, it is legal to OC in schools with a CPL, yet many schools in Grand Rapids still post themselves as "pistol free zones" and will call police on you if you attempt to exercise this right.
 
Glad to see some taking responsibility an understanding the ONLY way to STOP violence is with violence. Teachers, schools and the general public MUST understand that ONLY armed citizens will curtail these insane people, hence the Second Amendment. Great post just hard to understand it's from Ohio. Must be Cuyahoga County wasn't polled.
 
I spoke with a Police officer on carrying in school yesterday morning at breakfast. 3 State Troopers entered the diner I was at just after I got off work and sat across from me and my partner [the other Security Officer I worked with that evening] we just happened to over hear the Officer say something about my holster and my duty weapon [M&P 40 w/ TLR1 in a Level 4 Safariland SLS Holster] I turned to the officers and said thank you as I assume what they had said was a compliment.
All 5 of us somehow ended up in a conversation regarding Open Carry, my partner said something about OC in schools and the Officers laughed a bit. One of the 3 said they thought it was stupid any citizen can Open Carry into a school, but its illegal to Concealed Carry, either way a gun is in a school,
"why not cut the bulls___ and just allow carry into schools?" Unfortunately we all recognize its white collar Politicians who oppose this for a reason noone has been able to understand or explain to this day.

Either way, its good to see at least 1 state and a hand full of schools are making sure theyre not the next victims of a shooting.
