The Georgetown County School Board will have major issues to consider when it meets next including the district’s concealed weapons ban.
The school district has attracted state’s Attorney General Henry McMaster’s attention regarding its ban of concealed weapons on all school property, which is more stringent than state law.
McMaster released an opinion in December that the district’s policy supersedes state law, which allows a concealed permit holder to have guns in a car while dropping off kids at school, or in a locked compartment in their vehicle in a school parking lot.
In general, Schools need to revisit their concealed weapons policies. It’s no coincidence that shooters seek schools to spread their havoc. It’s schools are gun free zones. When was the last time a nutcase shot up a police station? They know the they’d get a few shots off before they’d be shot themselves. If you think we need more gun free zones, then consider putting a gun free zone placard on your front door.
