Broward County sheriff's deputies will now carry AR-15 rifles while on school campuses following the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, last week, Sheriff Scott Israel announced today.
The new policy was implemented Wednesday morning. In lieu of gun lockers, the only time deputies will not be "slinging a rifle" is when the firearm is locked in police vehicles, Israel said.
The rifles will not be fully automatic and will only be handled by deputies who are "trained and qualified" to operate them, Israel said.

“I remember standing watch at night alone on deck of an SSBN in the late 70s and we were not allowed to have a clip in our weapon.”
I mentioned it, because that is probably the case more than not. A CO doesn’t mind making his people sitting ducks, if it lowers the chance of an accidental discharge (and all the paperwork that goes with it), after all - it’s not HIS BUTT that’s at risk.
good question
1911 or Remington 870?
Nope, just blanks to make noise to scare the shooter away.
i wonder if he is running for a higher office ?
Be nice to have Debbie gone .
They should carry tazers as well, sometimes a less lethal option is better.
Shotgun was always loaded to clear topside
Based on what?
Contact the WH .
Its a great idea .
Aren’t black rifles indicative of a hate crime .......?
More likely many more dots have been connected with Cruz and the FBI and it’s time for the Left to start running from this.
Are all the children who knew Cruz was time bomb, going to scream and protest in front of the cameras now that people will be at the school with those evil guns?
Becoming a target yourself
Why expose yourself?
Tell the Trump WH .
What a great idea .
Call the WH and email them .
I think I will too .
.
The AR upper will be locked up in one part of the campus.
The AR lower will be locked up in another part of the campus.
Ammunition will be stored in a locked container in the locked patrol car.
Huh. How about that. I thought they were supposed to be banned.
Bloomberg and Soros are orchestrating and funding this gun grabbing push .
Time for schools to study what Israel did after the school shooting, Mercaz HaRav massacre.
(The attack was praised by Hamas and, according to a subsequent poll, was supported by 84 percent of the Palestinian population.)
After that the Israeli’s acted like adults who cared about their kids and their country.
Now we have politico’s who care about their bank accounts. (Now Soro’s funded.) And kidlets being used.
Good..now we are talking..enough with this gun free zone nonsense
Yes they’ll have bullets, but they will be required to paint the black evil gun glow paint yellow, or candy stripe it like a barber pole so the children don’t get too close to the beast.
