Hello Mike,
Thank you for the article that hopefully helps people recognize nefarious carry of concealed weapons.
I would have been even more appreciative if there had been something said about how the normal legal conceal carry individual has long been recognized as being among the most law-abiding groups in the country.
The simple act of carrying a concealed weapon does not make a person the bad guy. Quite the opposite, really, but much of your article can be taken to assume that every instance of "catching" a conceal carrier is catching a bad guy.
Your point about watching for "behavior clusters" is well taken. I am a certified firearms instructor and as devoted to the safety of our campuses as you are.
Thank you again for the article, and I plan on sharing it with my students.
Sincerely,

I wrote a note to him.
His article is directed at campus safety,

Spoiler: show

so I think it can be assumed that his message is rather directed, not for general CPL people. Nevertheless. ...

This was a modified reprint of a previous article from another publication such as a school administrator’s or pupil transportation magazine.

We normally focus on technical areas of prevention, preparedness etc. rather than the pros and cons of concealed carry overall etc., gun control etc. As a non-profit center, we have to be very careful about anything that could be construed as advocating for or against legislation. It gets pretty technical, but basically we can lose our non-profit status. This in turn would prevent us from doing much of the work that we do at no cost to schools, especially our work in developing countries where schools are far more dangerous than in the U.S.

We do have a chapter on how to make the decision whether or not someone should carry a gun for self-protection in our last book and we have a companion video on our website. We focus a lot on making sure a person is willing to use deadly force and is properly trained if they are going to carry a firearm. We do sometimes advise school clients to arm qualified civilian staff who are not security or police officers although this is actually more common in countries where the rates of violence are much higher and the police are know for either running the other way or delaying response until the attack is over (Kenya, India etc.).

I have a CCW and typically carry when I am home as I have had many very dangerous criminals I arrested vow to kill me and my family. I have even had two different school safety consultants communicate very concerning things to me and on social media sites. I received many cautions from colleagues about one of them in particular because they were so alarmed at things he was saying. We also do a lot of work with Jewish schools, Christian schools etc. as well as anti-terrorism work so we have to exercise an abundance of caution for our own security.

Thanks for the comments and have an awesome evening.

Wait.... you mean other people carry rifles in their pants too?

flag it as offensive.
