Armed Parents at school

[stlaser]

How many LTCH parents with children in school would give up a day a month or be put on a less frequent scheduled rotation to perform security at your childs school? Note: this would probably also include dedicated training one weekend a month maybe and also obvious routine mental competancy as well as standard back ground checks.

Good idea or dumb, please discuss

It's a shame we have to consider making our schools look like they're in Israel or something. How about we just remove the guarantee of an unarmed set of victims in that building and replace it with the element of reasonable doubt-so to speak.

I would do it in a heartbeat.

How about putting some of our wounded warriors in the schools. I am sure we have the technology to make this workable for any that would be interested. Would give them a sense of purpose and being around some of these folks would be good for our kids. Win, win.

Happily. Especially if I get reduced tuition.

I would be very happy to volunteer my time. I would even be willing to pay for my own training and background checks. I am sure many of us would.

I would do this but I don't trust the other parents with guns. Example--I know my sister wants to go get LTCH to protect her children. But knowing her and how jumpy she is, I could see her blowing away some old man asking for directions. I just feel sometimes that no amount of training can teach some people how deadly a weapon is.

I personally do not want reasonable doubt. I want it matter of fact.

I'd rather see something like Israel with the teachers being armed and having training being part of their "continuing education". I've seen enough morons at the range to know I wouldn't want them around children.

well said as usual!!!!

If I can provide security in my daughters school then I will be first in line and I will pay for any training they require.

Doubt on the part of the shooter is all it takes. They choose these places because the victims are all "fish in a barrel" because they are gun free zones.

Do you really want your kids going to a prison like environment to get an education? If you want to depend on others for your security or the security of your family, why even have a weapon? IMO, gun free zones and the politicians that put them in place are the reasons these shootings continue.

30 years ago students could bring guns on school property and it wasn't a big deal. People didn't get expelled for bringing a pocket knife to school either. We also didn't have weekly massacres..... Coincidence?

16 years ago students could bring guns on school property and it wasn't a big deal. People didn't get expelled for bringing a pocket knife to school either. We also didn't have weekly massacres..... Coincidence?

FIFY I graduated in 96 and we still had them then......

Bah! I do it every day. Nothing special there.

 

[Hookeye]

Had two armed cops in my suburban school back around 1980.
Didn't bother me in the slightest they had guns.
Thought it actually cool, one had a 4" Colt Python

Sure it is. You would be responsible for the safety of more than your kid(s).

The teachers aren't responsible for the kids' safety unless they carry a firearm?

Both of my daughters have already graduated high school, and the one that's still in college is going to be a teacher.
I would volunteer at ANY school that would have us!
