I agree. After thinking about it for a while, I wouldn’t want another govt. entity involved in schools security in the form of armed police or even a private security force. More tax $$$ going to waste and you just know there would still be an incident even with an armed guard in a school where something would break out on the other side of the school, just like in Columbine (where there was an armed guard). The solution of trained and armed staff at schools is the best deterrent. Never knowing who is armed is the best deterrent to any threats.

Exactly. Removed the "Gun-Free Zone" signs, and then implement a "don't ask, don't tell" policy of concealed carry. We, the people, left to our own devices, can solve this problem quickly.

Why would I trust a teacher with a gun anymore than a security guard? Teachers molest students, many are incompetent and I would fear they would be careless with access to any weapons they might have.

Arming the school staff has its own problems.

Cops in schools was a Bill Clinton idea. Now it’s considered crazy by the left, but on the other hand, it was a Bill Clinton idea so maybe it isn’t the best idea around.
