Purdue Research: Guns In Schools Save Lives

*Cam Edwards interviews in the publication process now with this work.*

Cam Edwards told me about this interview with Dr. Eric Dietz, director of Purdue University’s Homeland Security Institute. Dr. Dietz’s research shows that having armed SROs (school resource officers) and armed faculty/staff is the best way to keep our children safe in schools.

Dr. Deitz told me this morning that they are currently “in the publication process now with this work.”

You can rest assured that we’ll be going through the data with a fine-toothed comb when we get our copy of the report.
