Excellent post. In TX, some of us have planned to make the 'we are the first responder' argument in the campus carry debate.

Having watched a campus shooter video with a group of school folks, I made the point in question period that we were being denied the most efficacious way of responding. It did not go over well with the powers. But that's life.

TX is starting to tool up in counties to offer active shooter response classes for TX educators. Whether that will convince antigun administrations to change policy - I don't know. Their opposition is more socio-political than rational. They also carry about liability bottom lines and some analyses say the best financial outcome is not to have carry.

Last, many of them are what I've called defensive dumbfounded (a play on another term). It's mindset and they can't conceive they could be effective in defense.
