Scott Israel is more of a Dem operative than a professional LEO, so this is a big deal. It means one of the True Believers has tacitly admitted that the answer to bad guys with guns is more good guys with more guns. The progs must be freaking out over this.
Nope, just blanks to make noise to scare the shooter away.
i wonder if he is running for a higher office ?
Be nice to have Debbie gone .
They should carry tazers as well, sometimes a less lethal option is better.
Aren’t black rifles indicative of a hate crime .......?
Are all the children who knew Cruz was time bomb, going to scream and protest in front of the cameras now that people will be at the school with those evil guns?
Huh. How about that. I thought they were supposed to be banned.
Good..now we are talking..enough with this gun free zone nonsense
Yes they’ll have bullets, but they will be required to paint the black evil gun glow paint yellow, or candy stripe it like a barber pole so the children don’t get too close to the beast.
Does this mean there will be a deputy with an AR15 posted during school hours? Or does it mean that if a deputy goes to the school at some random time he will have an AR15?
Soooo Sheriff Scott “Johnny Dangerously” Israel wants 88 Magnums so he can shoot through schools .... fire that dipsh*t yesterday ....
Frangible ammo and a sidearm is all that needed .
Exhibit A.

I think they should also have gun towers and barbed wire around the perimeter. Post signs that say “ you cannot leave until you get straight A’s”. Just a thought.
Wait, I thought that..oh never mind..
Carrying those ARs will make them very visible and obvious first targets. You take out the guard first then the whole place is easy shooting.
Yes! Couple this with the right to sue should you be injured (gun) in any so called “Gun Free Zone” established by any government agency at any level.
They should not have to be trained and qualified. That could be used to keep a lot of good people out.
A very good decision.
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.
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 ?
