ANOTHER SCHOOL/PUBLIC SHOOTING

[SIXFOOTERsez]

I don't know that there is any real validity to having an active duty cop there rather than a trained security guard. Seen too many cases where the cops fired hundreds of rounds and maybe hit the bad guy once in the leg. Most of the cops I have talked to have never even fired their weapon or even drawn it other than at the range once a year

I don't object to teachers carrying on-the-job IF they want to do so and there are tight guidelines, training courses, and processes in place...though there are some risks to that plan.

I absolutely object to teachers being required to become trained armed security guards. They're already expected to play the role of parents in some people's eyes and don't make a lot of money as it is.

And, it makes no sense to me to require teachers to take on the role of police officers or armed security guards because some people don't trust the police or armed security guards to do their jobs (and for some unknown reason think that teachers could/should do it better). If there's a credible problem with police or security incompetence, it should be fixed not pushed onto others.

Completely agree
