False equivalency between secure areas of airports that have metal detectors, x-ray machines, and body scanners, and public schools, which have none of those things. Apples and oranges.
Not according to the Supreme Court of the United States. Schools are named to be one of the sensitive areas. Yet I wasn't really trying to examine whether it is the same, I just stated that if one is questioning whether something is appropriate, doesn't automatically make him an anti.
Last time I checked, children go places other than home and school, such as McDonalds, the mall, Fred Meyers, movie theaters, parks, zoos, playgrounds, Safeway, Burgerville, Burger King, toy stores, etc. Concealed carriers also go to all of those places. Should we ban concealed carry in all of those places too, because some people are not comfortable with guns being around their children?
Most of the listed places are private businesses, they are free to enact any rules they like. For instance, Costco does not allow firearms in their stores. Other places are public property, and it is a fair game for antis to try to restrict carry in there. Still, merely questioning the policy doesn't make one an anti
