Shooters fold in face of armed resistance

Seems to me that the issue of armed teachers and others in schools has become quite a two-sided controversy.

One side seems to think that guns in school would be harmful to the children. The other side wants guns in the hands of competent school personnel to protect the children.

I have been around guns all of my life and have been a hunter of small game. I have a slightly different view of guns in school to protect children.

I read that in several recent shootings, gunmen were quick to either stop the rampage or kill themselves when the police were on the scene to confront them. As a hunter for many years, few would hunt if the hunted had weapons to fire back at the hunter.

It just makes common sense and there would be no hunting licenses issued if the the animals were armed and could shoot at the hunters.
