Trib: Sending teachers into inferno
Idaho County Sheriff Doug Giddings came up with a clever analogy to support the idea of arming some of the teachers working in his jurisdiction:
It's the equivalent of equipping schools with fire sprinklers and alarms, then running everybody through periodic fire drills, Giddings told the Tribune's Mary Stone. And far more American children have died in school shootings than in fires, Giddings said.
"How many school shootings have we had (in the U.S)? We've had way too many," he said. "But nobody wants to address the issue because they're afraid of guns."
Of course, there's one huge fly buzzing around Giddings' ointment. More here.
