“Ohio Sheriff Wants State to Place Guns in Schools”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A local sheriff has asked state officials to press for legislation that would place guns in schools.
Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones sent letters Thursday to Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland and State Rep. Courtney Combs calling for mandatory armed personnel in all public and private Ohio schools.
Jones said his plan is intended to prevent a school shooting such as the one this week at Virginia Tech.
Jones suggested assigning law enforcement officers to each school or training select school officials to handle weapons and enforce laws, and commissioning those officials as Ohio Peace Officers.
Jones admitted his plan would likely be expensive and would not prevent school shootings, but he said armed personnel would limit the number of casualties in such an event.”
