According to some reports, the Nashville Covenant school was not a gun free zone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where “some reports<\/a>” = a call to the police:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

A woman who was at the Nashville, Tennessee, school during the\u00a0mass shooting on March 27<\/a>\u00a0told police that a few staff members typically carry a gun on campus,\u00a0according to a police call obtained by The Tennessean<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Some of the usual suspects are already trying to use this factoid to indict the idea of armed school staff:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s an astonishingly ignorant view. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll explain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even in “Stand your Ground” states, self-defense law doesn’t as a rule allow citizens to close with and engage <\/em>perpetrators, acting as cops or infantry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proper role for an armed staffer, according to the way actual self-defense law works<\/em>, is to barricade themselves and the kids they’re responsible for into a room, and be ready to shoot at a perp who comes through the door with mayhem in mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not <\/em>go hunting for perp. More’s the pity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, we know nothing about whether these people were <\/em>in the building, or what they did. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which won’t stop the orcs from orcing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But those are the facts. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
