I’m inclined toward not paying extra.
Just allow CCW in schools.
Those good people inclined to will, on the whole, do so responsibly & discretely. If needed, that person will either already be a target (and be able to fight back), or can make the un-coerced decision to head into danger. Merely knowing that a school is not a “gun free zone” will deter most would-be killers.
Anyone abusing it (flashing it at kids, making threats, leaving it exposed, etc) - well, we already have laws in place regarding “brandishing”, “threatening”, “reckless endangerment”, etc ... enforce accordingly, starting with immediate firing.
My concern is those who, seeing the $$$, will step right up to the training, going thru the motions, pocket the cash, and be seriously unavailable (physically or emotionally) when need arises. Wrong incentive.
Just. Let. Citizens. CCW. Period.
CCWers have already gone thru background checks etc commensurate with state law (right or wrong re: Constitutional Carry). Teachers likewise have gone thru background checks before being entrusted with dozens of young lives daily.
No $.
Just let the 2nd Amendment do its thing.
They deserve extra money if they volunteer to stand on the front lines between attackers and innocent children. Good on Trump!
Used to be here in Michigan until it became a "Shall Issue" state in 2001 and they added the school gun free zones.
