[QUOTE="SigInBoots, post: 2020792, member: 17769"] As a gun owner and even more importantly as the mother of school-aged children, one of whom was born on the exact same day as a little one who lost her life in Friday's shooting in Connecticut, I whole-heartedly endorse this legislation and hope every gun owner, parent, and grandparent in Oklahoma will get behind it and PUSH HARD. We don't accept anything less than the right to self-defense with firearms in our own homes; why should we accept anything less where the safety of our children is concerned at school? The fact that mass shootings are rare should not inform our right to protect ourselves. An entire community of people in Connecticut this afternoon is feeling no consolation from the fact that the odds were against this sort of horror ever visiting their town, their school, their babies. And while this legislation is a good start, even better would be to see it expanded to include parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and others with children in schools who would be willing to undergo CLEET certification and serve as "parent volunteers" to help secure our schools. But at the very least it should allow ALL school employees (not just teachers and principals, but janitorial staff, cafeteria workers, secretaries, nurses, counselors, etc.) to become certified and approved to carry on campus. Enough is enough. [/QUOTE]
