For a potential perpetrator, not knowing what kind of armed response might arise around the corner or on the other side of a door in a school is an incredibly powerful deterrent and would create considerable doubt of success. Idaho is full of great citizens who safely use firearms on a regular basis. It is a powerful resource that should be utilized for the safety of every child in our schools. And it would add another layer to every school’s security system already in place, widening the moat between insanity and our children.
