I don’t know that roof top snipers are the answer, but I do support the idea of CCW carrying professors and staff. Security is a good measure as well, but the problem you run into are wanna-be cops roaming the halls looking for a reason the shoot someone.
I think it is interesting that the guy who shot the mall shooter in Utah back in February of 2007 was an off duty cop with a concealed weapon. He happened to be there eating at a restaurant when he heard the shots. What’s more interesting is I had to go to the Utah paper to get that information.
It would be great if the media would mention that the guy who prevented more people from dying that day had a concealed weapon rather than talking about what type of gun this other monster with no soul had. All this does is add fuel to a fire of anti-gun loving people who feel guns are the problem when the real issue is education.
I truly believe that if more people thought other people were strapped, mall and university and school shooting would happen a lot less. It is easy to shoot a classroom full of un-armed students or a mall full of mothers shopping for children’s clothes. Put the same guy in a mall or classroom with only a few CCW's and the situation changes. Not so easy the shoot fish in a barrel if they have Springfield XD's or Kimbers.
