There's no reason to ban backpacks or AR-15 rifles in schools.

I just don't understand what the difference is with a ladies purse, a briefcase, a courier bag or a backpack. Strikes me as strange that my back is allowed at airports, powerplants and government buildings including courthouses, but not into churches or schools. Some of us don't like leaving certain things in our cars. Schools churches and airports are getting to be more like prisons these days with limited access. The best security is a co-ordinated team of concealed carriers.

this is it exactly! I can literally carry a backpack with a Bible and my MIL's essentials into a courthouse or the mall, but not into Carlson's church! I'm sorry, that's as bad, if not worse than a 30.06 sign. I just don't understand the thinking. But, like you insist....it's "your" church, I'll find a different one.

I would think you could hire a lot security for just the cost of the stadium in Frisco. While you are at it ban backpacks. We do not allow backpacks in our church auditorium anymore.

why ban back packs? what if I'm a mom and I have my diaper stuff in a back pack because that's what my husband will carry? what if that's what I have my Bible study stuff in? What if that's what I have my Mother-in-law's stuff in?
I'm sorry, but when you start banning stuff, you're telling everyone that someone may be possibly thinking of maybe doing of something, so therefore you're going to punish the whole group. I thought that's why we were so against more gun control laws?

Ben Shapiro just made an excellent video on this topic on his facebook page

Start by defining the term "school shooting".

This is like every other term that the democrats have attempted to distort. They just expand the scope of terms to the point that those terms have no meaning whatsoever. To take just one example, if everyone you disagree with is a racist, then is racism even a bad thing anymore?

It's no wonder that congress can't agree on anything when its impossible to even talk to half of the people there because we no longer share a common understanding of key terminology.

There you go trying to make sense and all.....
I've just given up trying to hold a conversation with anyone about anything other than maybe going out and buying groceries....and maybe my corgis....

I heard on FOX that they had 2 armed officers, on the other side of the building. Sounds like they were very predictable, so he knew where they would be.
