Now put up the signs. Everywhere.

[Manly Warrior]

As it should be. Now, to have trained school personnel, and not just deputies, enabled to access the tools.

Emergency safes? Do you have to call somebody to bring the key to the safe in case of emergency, or just break the glass with the ax next to the safe?

[marktwain]

Too much time to get to the rifle.

Armed responders need to have a firearm on their person.

[who knows what evil?]

LOL...Madison County borders to the north of Buncombe County, home of far-left Asheville. This area is loaded with Trump-supporting mountain folks...good for them!

Bless this sheriff!!!

My county. During the War of Northern Aggression we became known as “Bloody Madison”. The name stuck and was appropriate until 1986 when we were able to vote out the old longtime corrupt sheriff during federal Operation Westvote. Read Met Her on the Mountain, by Mark Pinsky, for an inside look at our county under that filthy, conscience-absent sheriff and his henchmen.

I wonder how many of those kids know how to shoot? Good news....

[mewzilla]

What good does that do if the people entrusted to use them turn tail and run away?

[deport]

If an active-shooter situation occurs, the sheriff's office has stored AR-15r rifles in locked safes at each of the six Madison County schools. The safes also contain extra magazines, ammunition and breaching tools, Harwood said.

“Incase of emergency, break glass... then chamber the first round, and aim at whoever is threatening the school”

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

I’m not sure if an AR15 is the best firearms option inside a school. What do gun users think? That is, what do you think would be the optimal gun to arm teachers with?

School corridors are in some ways like trenches. In WWI, the best combo for trenches was decided to be a pistol in one hand and a trench knife in the other.

For more open areas, I would think a pistol would track faster than a rifle. You might also equip with bear spray to use opportunistically.

Thoughts and more thoughts.

[Big Red Badger]

BRILLIANT!
.
Guard them kids.
Have the Tools to use.

[Tucker39]

I call BS! The sheriff dept is in charge of the safes! So if there is an emergency, help is only 20 minutes away.....MINIMUM! And when they FINALLY arrive, will they hide behind trees until the crisis is past? More meaningless BS!

[NWFree]

What a bold and proactive plan 👍🏻

Practice too

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

BRILLIANT!!!!

[metmom]

I like it.

[1Old Pro]

Very smart, I’d only add the other gear you would want like shields, a few vests, helmets, battering ram, etc.
