We need concealed carry in our schools

[kd5exp]

I don't know how it is everywhere else but it is hard to find a school around here that doesn't have a retired military or police officer teaching. Maybe because we are an army town with Fort Sill here. The whole school doesn't have to be armed just the thought of the schools not being a soft target will deture most nuts. There is no 100% fix for this problem or these disturbed people. I read above about locking down the school and having to be buzzed in, well I read that he shot the lock off the door and went on in. Even a janitor roaming the halls could have stoped this early if he had the means. And how he got the guns in the frist place. I read that his mom would take him to the gun range and taught him how to shoot. Whats up with that. I have a friend that bought a shot gun and they found out about it and made him sell it because he had a drug arrest when he was a teenager, now 65, Vietnam Vet on disability. The guy met us in the parking lot at the hospital and had to watch the exchange. There has been so much said about this horrible tragity and how much is true may come out in time. I pray for the family's and friends of these poor folks.

Gloucester Township Shooting: 3 Police Officers Hurt In Shooting At NJ Police Station

Now they will want to disarm the police.

This mistake on the officer's part got them all three shot and a guy killed. They will probably never admit it, but the mistake was to have an uncuffed prisoner in the presence of armed officers. See what happened? This could have gotten them all three killed, plus others before they got the suspect down.

This guy was arrested on a nonviolent crime. They probably assumed he was going to be easy to handle and look what happened. Complacency will get you killed in a heart beat.

Here is my point. These were trained police officers who slipped. Now put guns in the hands of teachers and whoever you want and a suspect could gain entrance to a school unarmed and take the teacher's or guard's weapon and then kill.

So, the get rid of gun folks would have to get rid of all guns, police, guards, everybody's. No arms what so ever. They could be like the Bobbies in England. They could be armed only with a radio and baton, and cuffs too of course.

Just a thought

Here's a legitimate plan - and one I think would work. Wouldn't cost the taxpayers a dime. I'd volunteer (retired paratrooper).
Any other retired LEOs or Vets? Let's ruck up, train up, and protect our kids.

Newtown shooting: Why Minutemen can protect against active shooters

Exactly. There are thousands of highly trained OIF and Afghan vets who'd jump at a chance to protect children. If I were 20 years younger, I'd be right at the front of that line. Makes way more sense to me than trying to train teachers from the ground up.
