There’s a rationale and some evidence – albeit spotty and disputable — that the following types of signs deter most burglars:
=============
So, here’s the sign that I’d post at all schools starting today…
=============
The sign sends a clear message that protecting students is a priority.
Before you start to hyperventilate, read the language very carefully.
The sign makes no representation regarding the number of school personnel who are “authorized”.
It may be all … or some … or none.
That’s in the eye of the beholder … and it completely ducks the question as to whether teachers and other school personnel should be packing heat.
For the record, I think that school security should be the responsibility of well-trained professionals, not well-intended amateurs. More on that tomorrow …
Will the sign stop school shootings?
Maybe only in a rare case at the margins.
But, stopping just one school shooting would be good enough for me.
Especially since the signs would only cost a couple of dollars each … and Congressional showboats wouldn’t have to approve them.
As President Trump likes to ask:
“What have you got to lose?”

See, say. Hear, DO !
