Any news from Harrold ISD?

2. A school district (or sup. or principal?) can, as we know, grant permission. If I understand correctly that can make the board members individually responsible and liable (at least that is the way it is in private schools). I don't know of anyone (save the Harrold ISD) that is willing to stick out their necks. You can argue that they can be held liable for anything but banning guns (or not allowing them) is the lesser of the litigation evils.

I think the idea is to start the thought train rolling that there is risk on the "gun-free zone" position side as well. If there were one lawsuit from a shooting victim in one of these gun-free zones against the people who made them an unarmed victim, that would at least get folks realizing that making your place a gun-free zone is not a legal "get out of jail free" card. I would guess that nearly everyone who posts their location as a gun-free zone is of the opinion that they are MUCH less liable legally in that position, and I'd like to start them at least thinking that maybe it's not as much of a legal no-brainer as they think it is. I think this is worth the relatively minor effort that would be required.

I have no argument against getting them to at least consider the possibility.
