Gina Raimondo made the announcement Wednesday alongside school commissioner Ken Wagner.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It isn&#8217;t hard: Guns don&#8217;t belong in schools. Even Mississippi bans non-law enforcement officials from carrying guns onto school grounds,\u201d said Raimondo in a press release.<\/p>\n<p>Quick fact check. Raimondo&#8217;s wrong.\u00a0 Mississippi does allow individuals with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.handgunlaw.us\/documents\/agopinions\/MSAGOpinionOnCarryOnCampusWithEndorsement.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"rhode-governor-bans-guns-in-schools-by-executive-fiat\" title=\"Executive Fiat in Action!

As we start a new school year, this directive provides clarity, until such time that the underlying laws are reconciled.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There was no confusion about the law. Concealed carriers were allowed to bring firearms into public schools. Plain and simple. Raimondo and Wagner just wanted to put a stop to that. The question is why? Because if it\u2019s really about protecting kids and teachers then they have it all wrong. They should ban cops before they ban concealed carriers. Seriously.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/2017\/01\/new-york-times-concealed-handgun-crime-numbers-are-bogus\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"rhode-governor-bans-guns-in-schools-by-executive-fiat\" title=\"Executive Fiat in Action! Rhode Island Governor Bans Guns in Schools\">Research shows<\/a> that when compared to cops, concealed carriers commit fewer homicides, firearms violations, misdemeanor and felony offenses.\u00a0 Concealed carries are more law-abiding than cops and are convicted at a lower rate. The question can be asked, then, who presents more of a threat to \u201cthe children\u201d? The average cop or the average concealed carry?<\/p>\n<p>Please, I\u2019m not suggesting that law enforcement and armed student resource officers don\u2019t belong in schools. Just pointing out that this assumption by government that all cops are White Knights has real limitations. When you break it down the truth is that Raimondo and Wagner aren\u2019t against guns in schools, they\u2019re just against armed citizens having guns in schools. And based on data and what we know about concealed-carry culture that position doesn&#8217;t hold water, especially if one accepts that armed resistance is the best way to foil a would-be killer.\u00a0 What they need to recognize is that cops are not the only good guys with guns, they&#8217;re not the only ones willing and capable of confronting an armed attacker.<\/p>\n<p>Suppose a young Rhode Island mother has a concealed carry permit because her crazy ex physically abused her and her son. When she goes to pick up her son from school, that crazy ex now knows that she is unarmed. She is vulnerable. What\u2019s stopping him from attacking her in the parking lot?\u00a0 The cop that&#8217;s way inside the building?\u00a0 As they say, when seconds count&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, what\u2019s not clear, at least at this point, is the penalty for those concealed carriers caught violating Raimondo\u2019s order. I reached out to her office for clarification. We\u2019ll see if she responds.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yoMW_uWuM9A\" width=\"854\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">***<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"ShopGA\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Shop GunsAmerica!
