I think its pretty obvious that the only viable and equitable solution to this situation is arming and training the kids.
Two caveats: firearms training is required and the police have to sign off on each individual.
Yet another point in favor of lifting restrictions against carry on/near school grounds... They have 114 schools, and only 70 officers. So, 44 schools are just SOL on protection, and that's if all 70 SROs show up to work. Toss in sick days, vacation, etc. and you're probably looking at something like 60 schools with SROs, 54 without. So, almost half of their schools are unprotected."If the board gave me a blank check and said go hire a school resource officer for every school in Cobb County, I could not do that," Ragsdale said.
Agreed. As long as our schools remain soft targer free for all kill zones, school shootings will continue to climb. As it stands now... it's been tested time and again and proven to be one of the best ways to rack up easy kill points and get you name forever in the history books. That kind of allure is too great a temptation to dangle in the face of an evil seed.No one is required to carry a gun. If a staff member is comfortable carrying concealed then I don't see a problem with it.
In case of the unthinkable, it should be pretty easy to identify the bad guy.
