Just having officers with guns at the door may do a lot to deter those who are looking for a 'soft' target. Nothing says "Attack here, helpless people inside!" like the Gun-Free Zone signs outside of our schools.

But when I go to the middle schools in Detroit with barbed wire fenced, armed personnel, and metal detectors, I feel like I'm walking into a police state. Even though I'm doing nothing wrong, I feel like I have to be extra careful with everything I do. That's not an environment I would want to learn in.
