    Yes, most certainly gun-free zones should be abolished. That’s makes sense.

    Gun free zones should be stopped. But everyone should be restricted to concealed carry in a business establishment.

      I agree with you that gun free zones should be abolished, but not with the concealed carry only in businesses. I do conceal carry every where I go, I don’t want to have to worry about my gun showing if I move the wrong way. Here in Texas any business can post an 07 or 06 at the entrance saying no carrying, which is the 07, or no open carry which is the 06.

    For schools specifically, Principals should be allowed to choose local folks (once trained & certified through a state program) to act as armed guards on campus. These guards would be specifically responsible to deter external threats only! Parents should be made aware of the decision but the guards should remain nameless. This could complement school safety plans with the component necessary to significantly reduce school shootings.

    I work for a University and I believe they should. Everyone knows that if you want to target a lot of people, you do it in gun free zones, where no one should be armed.

    I’m all for stopping gun free zones, they are dangerous, I would rather have concealed carry

  6. Lewis Wright

    Gun free zones make for easy targets

    Second chance for felons after 10 year period and yes get rid of free zones.
