How do we know the geography teacher with the .38 and no vest would do it better?

A geography teacher would at least understand the principle of angles and pointing.

I guarantee you if I was there with my 45 and NO vest I would have engaged that son of a Bitch! You don’t have to stand out in the open to do it!

Well, the geography teacher couldn't have done any worse than the SRO or the three cowards hiding outside behind their car.

The arriving officers from Coral Gables (?) were shocked at their behavior and entered the building to defend/lend aid to the unarmed students as best they could .

We don’t know if the geography teacher with the .38 and no vest would have done better. But he would have tried. Not stood at the door like Scott Peterson waiting for three other Browder County deputies to bring donuts and coffee.

The geography teacher certainly couldn't have done it any worse.

Should the teacher be kept from protecting students because he/she might not do a better job than the cop cowering outside? At a minimum, the teacher would be motivated by self-protection rather than pension-protection.

The point is, will the shooter even take the chance if he knows that teachers are armed? Your leftist view has been noted however.

How could he do worse?

The Coward of Broward was perfectly safe cowering well away from the shooter.

A geography teacher in the building being shot at could scarcely show less resolve. Even if she froze (and a she-bear protecting cubs is unlikely to fold) the history teacher, the math teacher, the art teacher, and the ESL teachers are unlikely to ALL freeze!

Potential shooters need to know that the possibility of opposition exists - from multiple possible sources. That alone will stop many of these attacks.

= = = = = = = = =
The same way I know that my chances of survival are better with a 5 shot pistol or even a two shot derringer when ‘approached’ by 6 ‘teenagers’ with mayhem in their mind.

Chances are pretty good they will scramble when first seeing your weapon which allows you to leave the area.

My 5 shot pistol is a damn site better than a cell phone and cops 3 blocks away or a TShirt with a ‘no guns symbol’.

Maybe they may even see the sign and back off...

If a shooter is right outside your classroom would you rather have a chance or no chance?

Anyone who at least tried would have done better, and no I don't know what I would have done, but I'm not the one that decided to become a law enforcement officer, I'm not the one that said he would protect the children when he took the assignment at the school.

I would guess that he thought it was a plum do nothing assignment he could play at until he retired, now he is facing ridicule, at the least, from almost everyone that recognizes him and I can't imagine how he can live with himself afterwards. I honestly believe that if it was me, suicide would be in my very near future.

Because normally these type events don’t turn into long gun battles like you see on TV shows. If the youngster would have had any rounds coming his way the outcome could have been better than the way it turned out.

If your intention was to be defined by your words and draw attention to yourself...

...well done. /s

Anybody on earth would have done better. That frikken coward shouldn’t be allowed human company after his failure.

We have way too many swaggering oafs who haven’t any right at all to call themselves men.

Men fight for their families, their community, and their country.

“How do we know the geography teacher with the .38 and no vest would do it better?”

Because the bullets are coming AT them. It’s call DEFENDING, something the gov’t cannot do. They can only RESPOND and as we learned, not always ‘on time’.

Stop being sheeple people.

Because, unlike the deputy outside, he would have no choice but to be in the middle of it.
