## Transcript

It's time to make our schools a much harder target for attackers. We don't want them in our schools. [ APPLAUSE ] We don't want them. When we declare our schools. To be gun- free zones, it just puts our students in far more danger. I don't want a person that's never handled a gun that wouldn't know what a gun looks like to be armed. But out of your teaching population, out of your teaching population, you have 10 %, 20 %, a very gun adept people. Military people, law inforcement people, they teach. They teach. And something I thought of this morning, you know what else, and I thought of it since I found and watched Peterson, the deputy who didn't go into the school because He didn't want to go into the school okay.

He was tested under fire and that wasn't a good result. But you know what I thought of as soon as I saw that. These teachers and I've seen them at a lot of schools where they have problems. These teachers love their students, and the students love their teachers in many cases. These teachers love their students, and these teachers are talented with weaponry and with guns. And that's, they feel safe. And I'd rather have somebody that loves their students and wants to protect their students than somebody standing outside that doesn't know anybody and doesn't know the students. And, frankly, for whatever reason, decided not to go in even though he heard lots of shots being fired inside.

It's concealed, so this crazy man who walked in wouldn't even know who it is that has it. That's good, that's not bad, that's good. And a teacher would have shot the hell out of him before he knew what happened. [ APPLAUSE ]
