There’s virtually always a cop car parked at the middle school across from our home in our town - also one at the elementary school but strangely not usually one at the high school - now whether there’s actually a policeman inside the schools is another story, but maybe the car outside is enough.....

I can see a lunatic walking up quietly and just taking out the guard.

I agree; I think the air marshall model, where the security is undercover, is more effective. I’d like to see an armed “school marshall” in plainclothes, plus volunteer administrators and teachers who receive permission to carry and advanced training in how to do it effectively. (And maybe they would need special techniques or attention to how to carry safely around small children, or maybe more importantly, around older kids who might be itching for trouble.) But it would be better if outsiders knew that the school had armed protection ... but not exactly where it was.

My thoughts exactly. Let’s not have a flashing neon sign on the person with the gun; it should be unknown to anyone who the security personnel are.
