One slightly right decision in the Georgia gun laws

Some Georgia school districts are turning down the option granted under a new Georgia law that allows schools to train and arm teachers and school administrators.    Their argument is that it will not make the schools safer but rather would create more problems.

Steve Smith, superintendent of the Bibb County School District (Macon) said:  "We could give (teachers) all the training in the world as to how to a shoot a gun, but knowing when to shoot poses a major problem."

The fact that the Georgia lawmakers left the decision up to each school district is the one slightly positive thing in an otherwise terrible law, which has been referred to as the "carry everywhere" law.
