Would you stay in your home?
Or not go get your children?
Here are a couple of IMO, SCARY articles ! I'd like to know who would submit to this. Do you agree? And why?
And I do believe this could very easily go Nation Wide. But the thing I find interesting is they are announcing this in DC. and New Jersy. Which are two of the most ANTI-GUN states there are, right along with Cal. and New York. So please share your thoughts on this.
All I know is this.. If the SHTF, NO ONE, is gonna keep my child, and if it's my time for me, and my family to check out of this world due to some kind of attack.. We are gonna check out all together embrassed in each other arms. State Lock Down Schools May Keep Your Children!
pEaCe,

So presumably in your gun-friendly state of Texas, if schools try keeping your kids, you'd be free to go in there, guns ablazing, and break 'em out?
This is the kind of paranoia that makes homeland security that much more difficult.

I talked with our district superintedent shortly after 9/11 - he told me that anytime anyt parent felt compelled to come and take their children home they were welcome to - he said it was no problem - and they'd worry about homework another time -
I haven't spoken to him since - but maybe I'll ask him at the next meeting

OMG!!! That's not even the point man. I simply stated a fact that DC, and New Jersy are very, very ANTI-GUN. and by that, it makes me wonder if they would try to the same thing in a more friendly gun state. But that's not what my question was. I wanted to know if you would stay in your home, or let the schools keep your children.
Never mind.. It's not even worth the time to discuss this with someone that as soon as they see the word "GUN".. That's the thing you focus, and comment on.

upinya,
So you would be all for running to the school with thousands of other parents increasing the terrorist or soldier an easier escape due to the confusion.
We are not talking about 3weeks here. An alert of this nature would likely only restrict movement for a little while, while things were assessed. But driving willy nilly through a city laden with bio toxin is probably a STUPID U-Necessary wait a day while authorities get control of the situation and then go get your kid when it is all clear.
They are probably in more danger running home then staying put.
By the by, You are sounding like the gun control poster child. You would go to the school risking every ones life by taking away valuable police resources to break your kid out of school and expose them to several miles of transport through a emergency area. Simultaniously pointing a gun at teachers and administrators that are doing their job. Maybe I need to rethink my pro gun rights attitude. well perhaps not but you shore as heck push alot of people over the fence.

Once again.. I SAID NOTHING ABOUT POINTING A GUN AT ANYONE!! NOR DID I SAY ANYTHING ABOUT BREAKING KIDS OUT OF SCHOOL!
Let me try this again.
Parents only please:
1. Would you let the schools keep your kids if there was some kind of terror attack, or a threat of one.
Anyone:
2. If your state was locked down under Marshall law, just because there was a CHANCE of a terror attack. Would you stay in your home, and follow orders, and await further instructions.
3. Would the Fed. Gov. try to do this in a state that was not so Anti-gun.
Pretty straight foward, nothing bout guns-a-blazzin', breakin' children out.

Why would this make any difference? First off many parents have guns even in states with the strictest laws. Secondly the only reason the gun issue would come up is if you are talking about parents coming to the school "gunz a blazin".
1. Would you let the schools keep your kids if there was some kind of terror attack, or a threat of one.
To take on such a massive undertaking the threat would have to be ummm what is the word imminent. If that were the case although I would not like it, the fact that my person being on the street would drain police resources.
They would now waste time checking out my car for weapons and that of 10,000 other paranoid parents all bent and determined to risk their kids and community. Now that the police missed Mr. terrorist in the confusion your kid is now driving home through a cloud of toxic gass.
Martial law is not about bothering your plans for the weekend. It is about protecting the community.

Epidemic:
You can take what ever I post out of content. Like always. And for you information, I asked the question about the differnce between states more for the Marshall Law, locked in your own house thing. You can believe or not don't really matter to me.
But one question.
Are you a parent?

upinya, the distinguished and senior member epidemic just misunderstood. No point gunning him down.
I agree with your first post completely. Being in NJ and in fact located just half a mile from the George Washington Bridge, we are even more susceptable to an attack, unlike the distinguished member epidemic who is in Podunk, SC.
I think, however, the schools will send the kids home should the alert turn red because they probably wouldn't want to take the added responsibility.

yeah I would have to assume the schools would send the kids home. A school full of children is a big target for terrorists.
Though I don't have kids I would most assuredly go and get my kid/s
