I kinda agree. I don’t want police or armed guards, I want retired police, military, and corrections officers to get part-time work one day a week for minimum wage helpoing out around the school. People from the local community.
That is a distinction without a difference. Any armed government agent is just that.
The difference, for the record, is the uniform (and the whole government part, these will be volunteers.) Armed security or police are first targets. Retired weapons-trained “hall monitors” let’s call them, with CCW are harder to target until they shoot back. Trained staff is best.
I’m saying I want Mr. Smith, the Gym teacher, Mrs. Wilson the school principal, and Mr. Johnson the retired Air Force lieutenant to carry concealed, not uniformed guards.
