Statistical frequency of school shootings is one thing, it is another if the ONE shooting involved your kid, wife, etc. According to the FBI statistics and a concerted effort by my wife and I to avoid "bad" areas, we are very unlikely to face personal and violent crimes. Yet we have both exceeded that likelihood by at least 400%.

Just like air travel which has a fractional part of a single percentage point for fatalities, it matters not one wit if it is your family member on that ONE plane that scatters parts all over a KSFO runway. Each school that adopts such policies is a lot safer should it be the ONE that is selected. As one school district does it, others are more likely to follow suit. The more schools that have adopted policies like this, the smaller the field of viable massacre targets. Remember its about aggrandizing themselves in infamy, they're unlikely to select a target where they MAY face armed opposition and be stopped before it really begins.

Keep it up and that highly unlikely event will become a horrible blotch in history. For me and mine, were I not homeschooling would certainly select a school system where they are serious about protection of their charges...my children.
