Our Schools and any "Gun Free" Zone is an open invitation to a group of Defenseless victims and "Soft Target

No arguement here. What always ends these terrible mass shootings are other armed people appearing on the scene prepared to do violence.

[LProf]

True, and no argument here either,but bear in mind that in Israel everyone, man and woman, must serve a tour of duty in the IDF, so the teachers have all had extensive training in the use of weapons.

And, it is not uncommon to see uniformed IDF members walking the streets with their automatic weapons slung over their shoulders.

Israelis are used to seeing weapons openly carried.

What about giving some of our returning veterans a shot at some of these jobs?

All have received weapons training, they're disciplined and many need a chance at new careers. If they're educated and certified as teachers, all the better.

Yes but, the current administration views that group as "terrorists" you know.

God what an upside down world we live in. I wonder what we'll look like in 4 years

If the teacher is a law abiding citizen of the United States she should have every right to carry in school.

I think we should train EX military guys/gals to be teachers and help protect kids, i know some say " i don't want guns in schools" but they need to do a reality check.....they walk their kids by police at ballgames, malls, parades, airports.....come on wouldn't you rather have a teacher armed and at the ready, trained to protect your child.
Some people need to get their heads out of the sand also called mamby-pambyland.
These guys need jobs and have the training to defend send them to school, learn them to teach, at the least they would be a deterent....

A Job teaching? or security? Security isn't gonna work with the current rate of School taxes and the hours a school is open it's not a one man job....

That's the way I see it...

If their duty was to protect the students in a situation such as last week, I could see requiring training. If it was just to be able to CC, just require them to keep it safe in a proper holster on their person away from kids.

Something has to be done, because locking the door, covering it with a sheet, turning off the light, and hunkering down is basically waiting to die.

Best to utilize personnel that are already in the school Most of our High Schools have assigned uniformed police officers but you can almost count on the fact that he won't be where the bad thing happens, as stated not a one man job.

Janitors, teachers, the more the better should be armed.

I've often thought for many years that mail carriers should be deputized. Nobody knows a neighborhood better than your mailman. What belongs, what doesn't. Don't necessarily have to be armed but equipped and instructed to be eyes in the field.

I don't like the idea of teachers carrying handguns in our schools. They are there to teach not police. I like the idea of using returning vets or retired cops as school security. These people are professionally trained and well versed in response situations.

Sounds like a plan to me.

[Bawanna]

The problem is cost and the security personnel getting bored to tears with nothing to do probably forever.

Then you have to consider how many people do you hire per school and how many is effective.

Most districts around here pay to have a police officer assigned, he usually spends most of his day at the High School but visits the junior high and elementary too. That's really not enough for a situation like Friday.

They almost have to have some sort of other function and the protection part is a side benefit.

Heck we struggle around here just to pass levies to keep teachers and stuff. I'm sure Odummy would like to nationalize it and subsidize it from tax payers and utilize them as his version of the black shirts when the time comes.
