Or are you just trying to be insulting?

Carrying for criminal intent isn't legal, we also have no way of knowing someone's intent. My point is that a hidden gun, especially worn legally, is sure as hell not going to encourage people to leave theirs at home. Say this person who has this concealed carry permit has a personal feud with a staff member, it could be for any number of reasons. Say this person decides to resolve the issue through violent means...

Granted, these cases are likely to be few and far between, my point is that the knowledge that concealed weapons are carried in school (and *concealed* physically or not, it will be known) will frighten people, perhaps enough so that a normally law abiding student or staff member might wear a gun.

To answer your initial question - this would not be such an issue nor would it require legislation if people were NOT waiting for the passage of such a law. The question I would ask is who... and more importantly, why.

Have I thought this through? Enough to understand that this idea of permitting concealed carry in schools is fucking insane.
