I just found out this week that my kids’ school has armed security guards. I was relieved. It’s a private school.
My kids have gone to schools in Seminole county, Florida. Each school has a friendly Sheriff’s Deputy onsite. This is certainly not a guarantee that nothing bad will ever happen, but I bet the wannabe Lanzas/Loughners/Hearns types out there will look for a more “friendly” location to act out their psychotic rage! Why any parent would want their kids to be in a school 8 hrs/day, 5 days/week with no trained armed security in this day and age is beyond belief!
Safer like that than in a gun free government school even with a nationwide all-weapons ban.
