People who have been to Private schools where kids are expelled instantly for fighting likely would be more apt to not want people to have guns in schools to protect themselves from shooters. However, people like myself have seen people knifed, beat up and sent to the hospital while I was growing up and seen my best friend have his head rammed into a brick wall with force several times might just want to have a firearm to protect themselves. Also, I have had to lay down on the ground when I was 9 or 10 because my 13 year old cousins were shooting at a rabbit at one mile away that was running towards me so I wouldn't get shot because I could hear the bullets going by closely like a buzzing bee with the report I would hear a few seconds later.
It's all a matter of which culture you grew up in and how you feel about what happened in your life. If I hadn't been big for my age I would have been beat up all the time just like kids who were not big for their ages were having their heads stuffed into toilets sometimes filled with urine and feces and having it flushed while they screamed or rolled down a hill inside an aluminum garbage can while people laughed. Since I wasn't an abused child by either parents, neighbors or siblings I didn't believe in hurting people so I usually found my role as a physical protector in protecting anyone I knew that couldn't protect themselves whenever I could survive doing that. Which means there were always times when the people hurting others might kill someone and then it was a point of wisdom to stay out of it unless I had a gun myself. So, this is where my thoughts about people owning a gun come from to protect themselves and the Western STates and the South are where the most people feel this way where the law is often 50 to 100 miles away from you and until they arrive 30 minutes to 1 hour to never you are the only law there is present. So, if you are way out somewhere you are the only one who is ever going to protect you to be realistic. So, this is a way of life in the Western States and in the South.
IF I was an idealist that lived in a fantasy world I might not want guns in Schools. But, since I grew up I'm now a pragmatist (a Compassionate pragmatist) and a pragmatist in the end does whatever it takes to survive. He also teaches his children to do the same if they will listen.
