re: If your kid called you from school and said there was an active shooter?

That has nothing to do with the fact that many, many conservatives hold up "teachers with guns" like it is something that will make a serious impact on school shootings.

It won't. That doesn't mean I wouldn't rather there be some .0001% chance that my kid's scenario would be the exception to the rule.

Exactly. I would also hope they would say "hey dad, we have our school issued full body Kevlar on" as well.

Like I said earlier, if we had some highly unlikely major earthquake, I'm sure I would prefer to have had earthquake insurance, but I'm not going to base my decision-making on some preferred contingencies of every highly unlikely event. Otherwise, I would never be able to get anything done since there is always some rare risks that would not need considered.
