My only issue was and still is why don't they have it at a high school or are they affraid that one of those gang banging teens may whip out a real gun and shoot the fake guy and claim they thought it was real?

I can see why folks wouldn't want to traumatize the children by including them in this scenario, but would you not want them to have a semblance of what to do if it ever happened? This is the world we live in, we have mean, demented people out there among us, some older, some, just kids. That is what happens when we let the Supreme Court take God out of the schools. So guess who came it when we ran God out? The devil himself!! How else do you explain the killings going on now? In the '60's, the biggest problem in schools were running in the halls, chewing gum in class and smoking in the bathrooms. Now look, having to have Police Officers in every school, some states arming the teachers, schools locked down every day, etc. It is going to get worse folks, count on it. You might not want to believe it, but just sit back and watch! You ask God to leave, He will... He did, but somebody else came in....the boogyman, now see what we got?!?!?!
