“Given there have been more courthouse shootings this year, I think any law abiding citizen should be allowed to practice concealed carry.”

“The courthouse already has metal detectors, so they should too because it is a government building.”

— Sean Gilmore, student, Lawrence

“I would not allow concealed carry. In fact, having concealed carry seems to necessitate metal detectors.”

Her statement had nothing to do with the 2nd Amendment, I apologize for your poor understanding of the Bill of Rights and your lack of reading comprehension.

How many times is this going to be hashed out? People need to worry about those people that don't qualify for concealed carry, they are the most likely group to become lawbreakers.

The people who can't qualify are probably the people who carry weapons into city/county offices today, ignoring any signs posted. But the signs make William and Lindsey feel really safe.

Yes. But make the Fritzel's pay for it. It could be a "gift" from the Bliss Foundation.

The metal detectors are for the people who carry illegally.

Schools are government buildings too. Have fun standing in line.

A pat down could be dangerous if a finger tripped the trigger.
