THE NEW DANGER WITHIN OUR SCHOOLS

I served 30yrs. in Law Enforcement, and am now retired, and with that being said, here's where I'm coming from.  The idea of arming school personel is a 'SUICIDE/DEATH' WISH.  You can teach anyone/any age on how to use a fire arm, that's the easy part.  It's the when and how, along with the coordination of effort, or the lack thereof, that gets to the '...'WISH' part.   Columbine had two armed Police Offficers assigned to the school.  One of the first things those shooters did, was to attack the ones with the guns.   The armed school personel are taught to shoot, at a range, with carefully guided instruction, in a NON-THREATENING enviroment.    These same people  will also need TACTICAL TRAINING.   The past school shooters used weapons that can kill at 500 yds.  The 9mm hand gun has an effective range of 25 yds.  Yep...do the math.  The same armed school personel, will  not only have to return fire, but will either have to advance/hold their ground, during the school evacuation.  While all this (or something close to it) is going on, Police, Fire, EMT's, etc., will be responding.  Without a COORDINATED TATICAL PLAN, between them and the armed school personel, then you can count on the body count going up, due to victims of friendly fire.     Imagine this;  these Emergency Services Units, need to enter the school, and knowing you have two groups of people firing their weapons, along with the screams and crys for help.  Firearms going off inside a building, under those conditions, sound like bombs going off, and not knowing from whom, and their locations.    These kind of school shooters want to and are ready to die.  If they know that any school personel are armed, or their may be a Police presence of 1/2 Officers, they will attack in groups of 2/3 in a strategic manner.  They already have and will, and they will stand their ground as THEY ADVANCE AND FIRE, room by room, person by person  and at anything that moves.  The NRA originally endorsed armed personel in the schools, so then the NRA should fund it, ALL OF IT, and continue to do so, along with recruiting/hiring/training, and another endorsement from the NRA, is that of MENTAL HEALTH.  Good.  The NRA can MENTALLY SCREEN all their applicants.  What you have now, are school personel, who one day are parents/grandparents and are school teachers, and literally, the next day will have to step over the bodies of other teachers/students, return fire and shoot to kill.  And lastly, those armed school personel, what/how much extra ammo, can you carry with you, during any given school day?
