Police arrest two Lawrence teenagers in connection with string of auto burglaries
just because someone forgets to lock their car doesn't give anyone else the right to go through it.
and yes, my car was locked when someone used a rock to break the window.

Truancy policies can catch parents by surprise
I think you missed the point. The mother is upset because she suffers from migraines and isn't getting any help from the school and yet the school nurse sent the child home with an illness which it wasn't.
While its important to get the kid to school, its kindergarten. And she has migraines.. Maybe her neighbors can't help...
My kids were late to school by a couple of minutes for a while, because one didn't want to go (bullies and learning disabilities). It made all of them late. Its not that she isn't a good parent, but heck, things happen. she isn't lazy, but there does seem to be a double standard in the school system.

Would you take online classes if they were available?
It would depend on the class, whether it was for my major or not.

No concealed carry in Lawrence schools
Tomatogrower's comment goes to show that they will give people a permit, and make them attend a class, but that doesn't guarantee they know what to do with a gun. they give them a permit without ensuring they know how to handle the thing...maybe they should give them the permit AFTER they prove they can handle it.

Well, you are wrong., poof.. but you were making assumptions, and that happens when one makes assumptions. If they want to have an armed guard at school, then fine. because that is better than arming teachers. BUT they need to be trained, and not some rent a cop.
Background checks may not stop all the violence, but it will help. It certainly won't hurt, and for you to say that it won't help is part of the problem. It may take a number of things to make it better and people, ALL people, need to be willing to listen and to help make the changes.
Why should we be thinking about defending myself? I am NEVER in that situation. I am not scared or worried and Its not on my constant thinking. I do know where my weapon of self defense is at home, but I again, I am not worried about it. My kids were trained to protect themselves, but none of us feel like we need to have a gun to do so.
a gun is not an end all, be all, for protection. You can have one, and I have no problem with it, but don't tell me that I need one for protection.

and there is the problem with your argument - you assume that a parent or teacher carrying a gun would have put anto it. We don't know how regular people would react in those situations and for you to assume that a CC holder could have done something is what scares me. I don't assume that a training class would prepare anyone for that situation.
I don't have an unhealthy fear of guns. I don't have a constant fear of my life to need to carry a gun, and for you to assume that we should is also what scares me and a few other people. What you have written sounds like the wild west...lets just take care of the bad guys... THAT's what scares us the most.

I agree that arming teachers isn't a general solution to the problem... but as gatsby said above, there has to be some solution, whatever it may be.
