Should Michigan's governor sign a bill on is desk that would allow concealed weapons in former no-gun zones, like schools?
The question is timely for two reasons:
- Under legislation that passed the House and Senate in Michigan this week, gun owners with concealed weapon permits could carry a gun into schools, daycares, hospitals or public arenas if they get extra training. The bill is awaiting Gov. Rick Snyder's signature, according to MLive.
- And on Friday, a gunman opened fire in a school in Newtown, CT, killing at least 27 died in a shooting an an elementary school, including 18 children.

Shame on the Patch for politicizing this tragedy. Regardless of whether or not the issue is relevant or timely is beside the point. Now is not the time for speculation and debate. Rather it is the time for compassion and care.
