There is no extenuating circumstance which makes it OK to justify taking a weapon to school. None.

But that is where I disagree with you. I don’t think the poster was trying to justify taking a weapon to school. After considering your argument, I still do not see the quoted statement, in the context of this thread, as a justification in any way, shape or form.

That is where I am giving them the benefit of the doubt, as I would hope anyone would do for me, considering the very stressful situation they are navigating.

I might or might not bow out of the original topic of the thread, but I most definitely will bow out of this tangent.
