Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey announced this week that officers in county schools will carry long guns and will be prepared to “meet violence with violence” and win the day.
Florida Today quoted Ivey saying, “You are not coming into my schools and killing our children.”
He noted, “I firmly believe that if you do not meet violence with violence, you will be violently killed.”
Ivey posted a video to Facebook in which he announced that officers will have long guns on their persons, in order to save time that would have been wasted running to a squad car to retrieve the firearm during an attack.

I believe that was Senator Biden’s GUN-FREE SCHOOL ZONE ACT OF 1990.

Armed drones: what an outstanding idea! Nobody gets hurt but the bad guy(s).
It’s more about being trained than the weapon itself. Yes, a rifle is more effective than a pistol, but training is critical regardless of the weapon chosen. Not every teacher can or wants to be SEAL. And to be adept at non-lethal and lethal defense, active shooter, etc, takes significant time and skill. While having all teachers trained would be ideal, having ANYONE trained on site now is better than waiting for police who might not be trained for active shooter themselves.
Can’t disagree with anything you said.
