Are schools safe?
Most of the time, yes they are. It really depends on WHERE you're going to school...
Is it safe at the youth sporting event with crazy parents?
No argument here...people get so fucking twisted over a stupid rubber ball...
Is it safe at work with the mentally insane, manic depressive employee that doesn't talk to anyone?
That depends entirely on their personality, not on their disorder. I know a number of folks who are bipolar and they're safer than most "normal" people are.
Is it safe to mow the yard with a pack of pitbulls next door trying to break through the fence?
Not if you work as a mailman 
Is it safe to eat candy you get from Halloween?
Most often, yes. I've never heard of anyone who's been harmed by halloween candy. Bullies who like beating up other kids for their candy, however...that's a different story.
Is it safe to stop and talk with the guy screaming at you, as you drive home from work? No, but driving e-e-e-extr-r-ra slo-o-o-o-w to piss off the tailgating bastard is LOADS of fun...
Should you buy a gun to protect yourself?
The Founding Fathers sure seemed to think that was a good idea. If you know how to use it, you're safer with than without.
Should you worry about all of this?
Fuck no. The chances of any of it happening to you are about the same as winning the lottery. All the same, being ready just in case something DOES happen is always a good thing...
The case mentioned by SEAL was what is commonly known as a Police-Assisted Suicide. The kid was suicidal; he brought a spray-painted airsoft gun to school knowing that it would look like he was really out to kill someone. He pointed it at a member of the SWAT team, and they did exactly what they were trained to do in that situation. Unfortunately, nobody knew it was a toy until after it was all over (He really paid attention to detail- the replica was painted to look just like a real weapon, right down to a few patches of worn-off paint showing exposed metal). Poor kid knew exactly what he was doing, and the outcome was exactly what he intended it to be. I feel worse for the officers who had to take him down...

Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.
