Prior to Michigan's "shall issue" bill being passed in 2000, taking effect in 2001, teachers with CPL's carried in their respective schools. Unfortunately that bill also created the "gun free zones" which made it illegal for them to carry any more.......
One of my best friends was a vice-principal in Warren, MI, and not only he but a number of other male teachers carried concealed until the law passed.
And for what it's worth, they would regularly visit a local shooting range to practice their skills........
The dumbest argument I just heard on Fox was by some dumbass babe who stated that "billions of dollars" would need to be spent to arm our schools with security personnel..and nobody challenged her.
As I recall, LaPierre said the NRA would do the planning and training for free.
I wonder if she ever heard of "volunteer firefighters" who fight fires just as well as any unionized firemen? America (outside of the union infested cities) is full of them. They drive very shiny trucks and do a great job - just like in the city!
I suspect if the program is instituted, there will be millions of volunteers willing and able to be trained and used in the schools to protect their kids, grand kids, friends, and community. Remember, the idea is deterrence. However, if that fails, it is to delay or neutralize the killer(s) until the cops arrive. That can't be done with a bigger ABSOLUTELY NO GUNS ALLOWED sign.
The cost is embarrassingly minimal to institute and run such a program. Volunteers will gladly provide their own (approved) weapons. The schools can provide the radios and a "healthy" lunch. However, if we let the unionized lard asses like the TSA in the act, it will fail miserably and cost those "billions of dollars" bubble head is wringing her soft pretty little hands about.
