Magyar: Gun Free Zones are exactly why no school district in the country is able to retain my services.

I've been in FOUR actual school lockdowns in my 5 years working for a school district.

I'll keep working private sector from now on, where my right to live is respected.

GFZ's really irk me when the whole property rights vs gun rights issue comes up. The penalty for trespassing on an employer's property with a firearm is merely termination. The penalty for trespassing on a GOVERNMENT employer's property is jail time. The double standard is insulting.

And, just for the record, I believe that if a particular place of employment is:
1. Incorporated;
and
2. Open to the public;

There is no right to discriminate against employees or customers based on whether they are armed or not.
