The only problems with this thinking is the coming to moment and seeing the light moment could very well be to late.
For her and her students.
Yes, a concern of mine. I have offered to provide security when there for $1.00 a year. No go.
Then went to paying $1.00 a year. Still no go. I suspect the School Board would kill that idea anyway. I’m usually only there for extra curricular activities, rarely during school hours.
She mentioned a conversation she had with the HS Principal on the way to some conference, off site, a day or two after the FL shooting. He said maybe we should hire your husband as security. She said, the scary thing is, he would do it! I believe this was all somewhat in jest, but apparently the idea was broached. She had quite a few teachers ask about the building security the week after the last shooting. Doors are locked and you have to be buzzed in after school starts, but that could be easily thwarted.
I believe any teachers that wanted to carry should be given the specific training and resources to do so. That might be a few, or maybe no one, but the idea that there might be some, and not knowing should give pause?
As far as me and other non school employees carrying, I see good and bad things with that when the shooting starts. I’d prefer not to get shot because LE doesn’t know if I’m good or bad. It seems that LE would need to know who was allowed to carry somehow, short of just opening it up to anyone with a CCL. Not an easy solution. I generally feel that I am responsible for my own safety, and not everyone else’s. Church and schools present some issues for me that I don’t have a great answer for. Her school district is very small in geographical size, with local police never more than about 7 miles away, for what it’s worth. Police station about 4 blocks. Our house 7 blocks. If they stay outside hiding behind their car, that doesn’t really do much good if there is someone inside shooting.
It’s a subject that has to be dealt with rather cautiously between us.
