Well, so long as they don’t leave it in that bin with all the hockey sticks in the PE teacher’s office.
You just need more gun control!
What are we in - the twilight zone?
Sorry this makes no sense to me.
Carry the guns in the squad car.
If you store the guns in the school the kids will know where the guns are.
If the kids plan something they will plan to disable the safe first thing and guns you can’t get to are like having no guns at all.
The only kind of issue this is useful for is something spontaneous which is unlikely to require extra weapons.
Sounds like a set-up for Fast and Furious III or whatever we’re up to now.
(Alleged) kids break in trying to steal guns, everyone is furious guns are so easy to obtain, whoever thought this up gets early retirement and the Obamaloonbots scream for more gun control.
“Under the radar” Hussein.
My JROTC had an arms room stocked with both funtional (rifle and pistol teams) and non-funtional (precision drill) rifles.
Oh, and there was no security officer.
“Sorry this makes no sense to me.

Exactly what I thought when I read the article.
So they could break into the squad car parked in the parking.
Even better arm some teachers also so the bad guys don’t know who is armed.
Also teach some of the staff to use the rifle so when the bad guys shoot the frist uniform they see others can take care of the bad guys.
Teaching the four “R’s”...

The smart ones will probably ask if they can have the combination to the gun safe, so they can retrieve the rifle if the officer can’t. Who cares what the stupid ones will say?
Joe Friday had the answer sixty years ago: take the gun with you. What’s so difficult to understand?
How about just put a Dunkin Donuts store in every school parking lot. That way if you need lots of firepower, just turn on the “Hot Donuts” sign and the place will turn into a sea of blue, complete with all their gunz.
Carry the guns in the squad car.
Good point but I'd expect that a school security officer would be driving his own vehicle back and forth to the school rather than a squad car.

Same here in DC public schools up until the late 60's (not sure when it stopped). The cadet was issued and drilled with a U.S. Rifle caliber .30 M1 without firing pin. After the early morning weekly drill the M1s were racked and locked by cadet officers who then presented the weapons count and keys to the reg. Army officer in charge of the program. Rifle teams used .22 cal Savage-Anschutz rifles and followed the same procedure with their weapons and ammo.
Single or pairs of BARs, carbines, Springfields were used for instructional purposes.
Our drill teams were issued Springfields with white leather slings and chromed bayonets.
As far as I know we never had a shooting, stabbing, or someone getting butt stroked. But I am sure every HS had at least one or two cadets whose attention wandered during close order drill that caught a barrel across the skull.
Now SWAT teams are called in for "finger guns".

Imagine that, gangs of fifteen year and older males carrying "automatic assault rifles" and parading in the streets of affluent NW Wash DC. The horror.

None of these small suburban towns can afford a school security officer.
Are they preparing for a Red Dawn scenario in our future? Sure sounds like it.
