My wife and I are licensed by the sheriff's department to carry sidearms.

Still, we face universal hyperventilation that we are armed. In this day and age with the current headlines, there is no way in hell we are going anywhere without being armed.

And just to clarify, you can become a cop even if you have a record. but to get a license from our state, you have to be ultra-clean. no criminal record, no arrests, no warrants, NO MARIJUANA, or any of the other common crimes overlooked by police department recruiters.

We have to be cleaner than cops.

Yet we are the first targets when some idiot who has no license and does not care about laws goes off the deep end.

There already is a law absolutely prohibiting guns within 500 feet of a school. If laws are the answer, then why didn't the law prevent this massacre?
