Comments
By now... in 2020...every reasonable person should realize that "gun free zones" are nothing but "free fire zones" for criminals. The only thing we do by creating gun free zones is to ensure criminals that no one will be there to fire back at them ....until the police arrive in 5 to 10 minutes. This law and all others like it are ridiculous and should be subtitled "Sitting Duck Laws". WHY LIMIT ANY SCHOOL BOARD FROM PROTECTING OUR KIDS??
