The school shooting in Texas is more surprising to me now that I live in Austin; the amount of people who concealed carry here is really high, and I'd assume small-town Texas would have an even higher %. I'm surprised nobody seemed to be carrying at the school!

Is your point that a higher percentage of folks with CCW leads to fewer shootings? Would be very interested to see if you actually have data backing that up.

My guess is that it leads to fewer deaths. I don't have good stats here though, cause it's hard to tell how many shootings are avoided cause of the presence of guns. It does seem like gun ownership per capita and gun homicide rates are uncorrelated across states though!

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic with this response, but AFAICT the legit answer to your question is that people don't concealed carry at schools:

In Texas, it has been legal to carry at *colleges* since 2015, but it remains illegal to do so at K-12 public schools.
