The rifles will not be fully automatic and will only be handled by deputies who are "trained and qualified" to operate them, Israel said.

I shot at the range next to four cops from the local PD.

They were incredibly bad. Even at 10ft they were all over the place. I can only guess they were newbies.

Let me tell you something......I know plenty of people...just regular people that will pull their weapon, and if they have to kill the person posing a threat to them or their family..or those that are threatened. They will do what they have to.

I'm not a guard, not a cop...just a person...but you threaten me, my loved one's and friends. You are going to meet armed resistance.

And I know plenty of people in Hospitals, Schools, public places...that think just like me.

Just because they are a teacher, a nurse, a doctor, a cashier...doesn't mean they aren't capable of defending themselves....and others.

That is not based on real world experience or reality at all.

You are the one not facing reality. Teachers are in the business of building relationships with their students. You might as well tell abused mothers to "buy a gun" to keep their abusive ex-husbands at bay. Sure, some could, but they are the exception, not the rule.

People just don't work the way you envision.

ABC radio news via WLS reports: Broward County Sheriff Israel says rifles will be locked in squad car. These AR(malite) 15’s for all practical purposes are a target and small game rifle. If Cruz used a larger caliber rifle there would be a lot more dead for all all the rounds he expended there were 80 wounded. Which makes me feel most of those deaths were caused by perhaps a pistol ?

School kids should not see officers wondering around in a school with military style weapons.

I was stationed in Berlin during the Gulf War. MP's followed the school buses in Jeeps with mounted M2. Kids thought it was "cool".

I think it's great to do this. Snowflakes need to learn that guns aren't going to just open fire on their own.

Worst aholes I ever saw at the range for sense were cops.

Here I am 150 lbs of me reading the riot act to some dipstick 325 lb cop who has no muzzle discipline.

He bows up on me and I don’t back down, I had a ton of back up.

He backed down.

What I’d REALLY like to see is a “School Marshal” program like Squantos mentioned, but open to volunteer parents.

Parents could pull security on their off-hours providing a free, rotating, roster of guards without anyone but the administration knowing if on a given day the school would have one guard, or seven.

That would work....there are many ways to make it work.

And many people to make it work.

School cop was an unarmed security officer - and reportedly the first one shot.

Or someone desperate - or who knows there’s no other option. Go look up Mark Allen Wilson and the Texas courthouse shooting. He took on a guy with an illegally converted full auto AK type with a 1911 and drove him off at the cost of his own life.

"Ammunition will be stored in a locked container in the locked patrol car."

Yep....The key will be kept at the precinct and will require a 10-working-day notice before approval will be considered at the highest levels...

Same opinions as yours ...... I could easily do 3 days a week and extracurricular activities. But as an old retired fart with a beard and a ball cap. I’ve no desire to be an employee. Volunteers with proven experience, credentials and refresher training. Pay my way be it the football game or breakfast / lunch in the cafeteria . Heck even help the janitor run a dust mop as I stroll down the hallways ..... good reason for being around all parts of the building ......
