Of course, the author sardonically calls it a "shocking" decision, possibly referring to the liberals overrunning the state who never make sensible decisions like this.
Only thing wrong here is that only five adults are allowed to carry on campus. So the bad guys just have to find out which five they are, and target them first. Of course, they know it might be difficult to take out all five before one of them gets him, so the deterrent effect is still there. But best would be to simply allow ALL law-abiding adults to carry. Most of them still won't bother, but a few will. And unlike this five-adult situation, the bad guys won't be able to find out who they are. So they'll know that if they want to make gruesome posthumous headlines across the country ("30 children massacred!"), they will likely get a bullet from one or more unknown directions before they can rack up a big enough body count, stopping them.
It's enough to make a potential murderer look for a new job - in most circumstances - without a shot being fired.
But bravo to this school district, for finally realizing that our kids are safer in a "law-abiding-adults-are-allowed-to-carry" zone, than in a "gun-free" zone where criminals can carry and only the people protecting the kids are disarmed.
When law-abiding adults are free to carry, criminals are less likely to commit their crimes. And we are safer, even without a shot being fired.

California School District Makes Shocking Decision on Guns!
Written by Onan Coca
The citizens of Kingsburg have just voted to allow up to five responsible adults in their school district to carry a firearm in an effort to defend their children from a possible attacker. The policy was chosen as a measure to ensure the safety of the people on a campus that has no police presence or fences to stop a possible assailant from wandering on campus.
The school superintendent, Randy Morris, told Fox News that for him “the expectation of the superintendent is, given the situation, you will protect staff and students with your firearm that you’ve been granted permission to carry.” Superintendent Morris will hand pick the five staff members who will be armed and their names will be kept secret in an effort to protect them from any pushback to the policy.
As reporter William La Jeunesse alludes in his report, this particular policy seems to be gaining support around the country as more and more people realize that our children are less safe in gun free zones, not more safe. As a point of fact, these mass shooting situations are usually resolved when the gunmen finally encounters armed resistance.
It’s refreshing to see school districts using facts, data, and common sense to develop the policies that run their schools instead of relying on the usual liberal palaver that is so often devoid of any real evidence. Hopefully we’ll begin to see more schools acting in defense of our children instead of in defense of the fallacy filled liberal arguments that usually take priority.
As the Democrats are so fond of saying, “it should be about protecting our children.” Now let’s back the sentiment up with action and give more of our schools the ability to defend themselves.
