Do "Gun Free Zones" make people safer? I have often had this conversation with people who seem to believe the fallacy. THE BAD GUYS KNOW ABOUT these PRETEND "GUN FREE ZONES. THEY KNOW THEIR FUTURE VICTIMS WILL BE UNARMED AND THEY WILL EXPLOIT THE SITUATION. If teachers were allowed to carry concealed weapons but not be required to tell anyone, then the bad guys could not just confidently stroll into a school and start shooting because there is a good chance that someone might shoot back! Apply this same logic to other pretend "gun free zones" such as movie theaters, libraries, banks and post offices and now the bad guys wont feel so confident about walking in with a gun and robbing, raping and killing innocent people.
