    Even as a kid getting armed cops in schools after 9/11, I have always really hated seeing guns in public. Especially when it’s a mall cop, you know? That sucks.

      We had an armed cop in my 80s high school, long before Columbine made school shootings a sport. Also, this was a solidly middle-class school, not exactly rough.

        What’s your point, that it’s fine and dandy? I’ve done more than my share of fun with guns, but even I think it’s just plain weird for kids to see a guy with a gun every single day of their lives.
