Foxy is the biggest sweetheart—really her only fault is that she really likes to jump up and give you kisses.

(What do you think about the NRA's solution? Tell us in the comments.) "We care about our president, so we protect him with armed Secret Service agents," LaPierre said. "Members of Congress work in offices surrounded by Capitol Police officers. Yet, when it …

Thousands of Minnesotan's carry firearms everyday, just in case, around the general public, around kids, and nothing bad happens as a result. If a motivated teacher or other school staff member wants to do the same, there's no reason to believe the carried guns will magically start misbehaving simply because it's a school, especially if they're concealed...no one will know.
