Okay, i look at this as a foot in the door. Most school boards are made up of parents. Perhaps some of these scholl board members are gun people. They can calm the fears of the anti- crowd.

Maybe you know one of them through church, or civic organization, or something lke that. This could be a good dialog--something that is revered in both government and education. This would be a god time to calmly and rationally state your position.

You could, if they aren't gun people, offer to help em choose a firearm, and a chl class.

Try starting off with requesting an informal meeting with one of the members. Email them as a parent and let them know that your first priority and theirs are the same....our children's safety. Tell them you're concerned and have some ideas.

Once they have the gist and the fact that gun people aren't nuts, they're more likely to talk to the other members. Then talk about what you need to do to get things going in the district to carry.

I was thinking about appealing to our school board with the "opt in" clause of our own laws, and the Fed. Gov't. about CHL.

More later...my boys are getting meaningful awards for making the honor roll.

Here's one I find interesting, since my wife is in education:
