No benefit??? 
Those "children that aren't yours" grow up to be your coworkers, neighbors and part of your area's society. Now imagine if they were all uneducated cause of people like you that don't want to pay a tax to support the schools???? What would happen to that University that you work at?? Would you still have a job there??

And careful, sounds like you quoting the famous Republican rhetoric about not giving 2 shits about other people's kids...

LOL that's kinda hard to prove. Simply we don't know the real numbers of kids that were going to shoot up a school but changed their minds when they saw an armed officer???? Too many variables, isn't it already a proven fact that we have more shootings in gun free zones than non gun free ones?? I'd say there is probably a mental reason for that??
