I am a trainer in active shooter. I have trained 4-500 law enforcement over the years. What is missing in almost all communication is that the goal of active shooter training and all training is to disrupt the shooter. The shooter is usually mission oriented and anything that disrupts that plan will stop the shooting. This is why the guy in the Washington Mall last month shot himself when he observed someone with a gun pointing it at him. He realized his plan was coming to an end. The end frequently is suicide. Yes, we have trained schools to go into lock down and secure their rooms. Some places are more secure than others. I am one of those that thing Teachers should carry in schoo.
I teach CCW or CPL classes. I have had one teacher in my class. He is actually my youngest daughters’ teacher. I would feel much more confident if you were allowed to carry. I know several teachers and former teachers who are CPL.
I am not afraid of guns in the hands of citizen’s. Never have. I remember long before columbine requesting to have SWAT training for patrol officers but was denied. You see, it was a special club. We were told to secure the perimeter and the hero’s would show up and save the day. A few years later, Columbine. The resonding officers did just as they were trained. They had been trained wrong. In my opinion, it was because of the special club status that speciality teams get in Law enforcement.
You can probably guess I am not a fan of specialty teams. Anyway, long missive. Take care.
