Insurer Refuses to Renew Coverage for Schools that Allow Teachers to Carry Handguns Empty Insurer Refuses to Renew Coverage for Schools that Allow Teachers to Carry Handguns

The EMC Insurance Cos. insures 85 percent to 90 percent of all Kansas school districts and has refused to renew coverage for schools that permit teachers and custodians to carry concealed firearms on their campuses under the new law, which took effect July 1. It's not a political decision, but a financial one based on the riskier climate it estimates would be created, the insurer said.

"We've been writing school business for almost 40 years, and one of the underwriting guidelines we follow for schools is that any on-site armed security should be provided by uniformed, qualified law enforcement officers," said Mick Lovell, EMC's vice president for business development. "Our guidelines have not recently changed."

this is what we keep saying, the Numbers don't lie we are safer with out guns in schools or in the community.
what will be next line of reasoning amougst gun nuts? that Numbers are the work of the devil?
To be fair Insurer's association with the Devil is well documented but even they trust the Numbers for their Impartiallity in all things, Insurers are literally betting on it. Twisted Evil 

@ben
