| In western states, "school shooter" has a different meaning. Many schools have rifle teams |
There are many likely contributors to the fact that Utah has zero school-related shootings. Utah is one of the states that has the least restrictions on second amendment rights in the nation. It is one of the few that do not forbid concealed carry permit holders from carrying their personal defensive firearms in schools. Utah has very little crime, with one of the lowest homicide rates in the country. As stated in this article from ksl.com, the odds that when you are in Utah, someone near you has a concealed carry permit, are very good.
Pedersen believes the fact the state has so many gun-friendly laws and concealed weaponspermit holders may actually be a deterrent to these types of rampages. The shooter doesn'tknow what he's up against.
"Odds are your neighbor, your person that you work with or your best friend, maybe, has aconcealed weapons permit," he said.
School shootings shot up after the passage of the federal gun free school zone law in 1996. The law was re-instated that year after heavy lobbying by President Clinton and Janet Reno. The law had been struck down by the Supreme Court as unconstitutional in early 1995.It's that kind of logic that has Pedersen involved an effort to train and arm teachers.By law, concealed weapons permit holders can be armed inside Utah schools.

But there is bad too: Utah, cops shoot wife, 2 kids and mother-in-law, then himself.
Other than that, a ruling that bloggers in the USA now have First Amendment protection!
Read it in the Cleveland Plan Dealer this morning.
Here is one from Fox:
Bloggers have First Amendment protections, federal court rules

Well, Wireless Phil, all that proves is that the people whom the left wrongly believes will protect us from the bad guys, are no different than anybody else when it comes to gun ownership. So can be trusted, some can't. Using their lame justification then, we should disarm cops. Works well in the UK, huh? (Sarcasm/off)
