Well............. they were gun free until......
What a real shame apart from the gun / anti gun publicity that always comes about as a byproduct.
To me, it really sucks that everyone has to pack a gun these days. It's a real statement about our society as a whole. Hell, when I was a kid in school, just a few years back (I'm a youngster!) you never heard the term "school lock down" and all that. In fact when I was in junior high, we raffled off a 22 rifle. Boy has things changed!
