Indiana:
State government: GOP Sen. Jim Tomes, who represents Indianapolis, backed
the NRA's call.
Indiana allows security guards to carry handguns on school property. Many
are off-duty police officers who are exempted from the state's gun-free
school zone laws, the Courier-Journal reports.
"We should live up to the Constitution and the Second Amendment. You know,
that's it," Indiana GOP Rep. Dan Burton told the Louisville Courier-Journal.
"And if you have somebody that's mentally unbalanced, you are going to have
these problems. I don't know how you do away with that."
New Jersey (some would like to buy no money):
"We have 11 schools in South Brunswick," said Hayduca, who is police chief
in the town. "I would have to hire 10 officers, at a total cost of more than
$1 million, to put a cop in every school. "It's just not realistic. I mean,
the concept is great, but financially, you can't do it."
Colorado:
Money is not an issue. That's not the case in Jefferson County, Colo.,
however. The 1999 shootings at Columbine High School left the two killers
and 13 others dead.
"We have a cop in every high school in unincorporated Jefferson County,"
Mark Techmeyer, a spokesman for the county Sheriff's Office, told Fox. "Two
deputies are assigned to Columbine. And our regular patrol deputies act as
liaisons to each elementary school.
