The irony is rich in the proposal.

I've never had police training, so who am I to question the idea that the safest place to store a defense weapon is in a place that puts the shooter between resource officer and said defense weapon.

Nor am I inclined to question why Boulder is so convinced of a school shooting in their schools that they are willing to partially disarm their deputy for ALL other possible law enforcement scenarios.

The title is a bit misleading. I watched this story on the 5 o clock news last night, and they are referring to 2 schools in Boulder county, Niwot and Lyons high schools, due to increased response times in those locations.

City of Boulder and County of Boulder are two different entities.
One is strife with moonbats.
The other has some common sense.

From the story:

In an effort to expedite the response to a potential school shooting in Lyons or Niwot, the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office wants to store AR-15 rifles in both schools.

The guns will be moved from school resource officers’ cars, where they are now kept, to safes in the school offices that could be unlocked only with a deputy’s fingerprint.

Having them locked up inside the school, where an officer will have to enter during an active shooting and open a safe, is faster than grabbing it out of the car he's driving?

What?

EDIT: I see. Its the SROs cars, not the deputy's cars. My bad.

I still don't get it. Are the SROs stationed inside both of those schools full time? I don't see how that gun is gonna be that useful or that quick to access unless the officer hangs out by the safe the entire time. I'm not opposed to the idea I just don't think it makes a lot of sense if quick access is the motivation for doing it.
