Canyon public school officials are pondering whether to allow the storage of guns and ammunition on the two high school campuses in the district.

Guard this stuff very carefully, folks.

Canyon and Randall high schools would be the site of the munitions depots. Canyon Independent School District officials want to store the weapons there in case violence were to erupt at either campus. The only people with access to the cache would be Canyon and Amarillo police officers.

I share the concern expressed by Kathy Gilmore, a parent who lives in CISD. “I think they would have to really be careful about where they put them and only have certain people, only the officers that were licensed, to take take care of them if they were stored,” Gilmore said.

But what if someone, somehow, in some unexplainable fashion were to get hold of the keys? What if that someone did so with evil intent? What if tragedy were to erupt in the remote – but still possible – event of such a theft? What if … ?

I question the wisdom of this idea.
