Thoughts On The Florida School Board Shooting

As many of you have heard by now there was a shooting on Tuesday at a Florida School Board Meeting.   Predictively, there have been calls for more gun regulations and bands.  But think for a minuet, Florida is a Concealed Carry State and yet not one person there had a gun except the bad guy.  Why? Because the government in its infinite wisdom decreed that it is UNLAWFUL to carry concealed on school property.  It is what's called a "Gun Free Zone" which is loosely translated to "prime target areas" in bad guy speak.  They know that ALL law abiding citizens that exercise their right to bear arms will be unable to defend themselves or others in those areas.  

Could this have been avoided if the bad guy knew there was a chance that there were armed and trained citizens in there ready to defend themselves and others? We may never know about this particular instance, but statistically, criminals are cowards and will not attack if there is a reasonable chance of being out numbered or less armed then the intended victims. 

One of my favorite quotes is "An armed society is a polite society"
