I felt sad as I dropped my daughters off at school this morning. It has never felt quite right and today was one of those days when it felt particularly wrong. Part of it could be the fact that I have today off from work. I wish we could have all stayed home, snuggled in our warm house instead of bundling up and sending them out in 20F weather.
Even more so, I wish I felt like they were really safe. The "Gun Free Zone" signs at the school particularly annoyed me today. Law abiding citizens abide by laws and ordinances. Criminals do not. Which means if some crazy person violates the law and opens fire on my daughter's school, there is no chance of a Good Samaritan being available to truly protect them. I want a sign to read "Staff are armed and trained to use deadly force to protect our students."
