[From the class of 09]

Turns out a number of states allow adults to have guns in school with some prior approval. Some surprises on the list...

•Alabama (which bans possessing a weapon on school grounds only if the carrier has "intent to do bodily harm")
•California (with approval of the superintendent)
•Connecticut (with approval of "school officials")
•Hawaii (no specific law)
•Idaho (with school trustees' approval)
•Iowa (with "authorization")
•Kentucky (with school board approval)
•Massachusetts (with approval of the school board or principal)
•Mississippi (with school board approval)
•Montana (with school trustees' permission)
•New Hampshire (ban applies only to pupils, not adults)
•New Jersey (with approval from the school's "governing officer")
•New York (with the school's approval)
•Oregon (with school board approval)
•Rhode Island (with a state concealed weapons permit)
•Texas (with the school's permission)
•Utah (with approval of the "responsible school administrator")
•Wyoming (as long as it's not concealed)

LOOOOOPPPHHOOOOOLLESSS!!! THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!!!

Does Alabama's make any sense? I don't see how that could be a very effective law, other than to bring additional charges on someone who has already committed the crime.
