Alternative to Wayne's proposal...?

[muddywings]

I think Wayne's proposal of cops in the schools might be economically prohibitive for many schools.

But if the daily cruising police, deputies or state cops could begin an unscheduled presence to any schools along their district, it might do some good.

Instead of just routinely driving by several times a day they could have a keyed/coded access wherein they could enter the school and just strolled through.

It's unlikely they'd just happen to walk in on a bad situation, but when the potential shooter knows they could walk in at any time it might be enough for him to reconsider.

I can't see where this would take more than 30 minutes from their schedule. Would also instill in the kids a sense of cops being good guys and to be trusted.

Perhaps a high-mounted box of donuts in the lunch rooms might add the necessary incentive. ;->

OR....you could do what D-20 in Colorado Springs does....

Now you've got me curious. What do they do?

Now, the National Rifle Association knows that there are millions of qualified active and retired police; active, reserve and retired military; security professionals; certified firefighters and rescue personnel; and an extraordinary corps of patriotic, trained qualified citizens to join with local school officials and police in devising a protection plan for every school.

Now for everyone who didn't watch/read the transcript, but have only read the MSM analysis of the plan, that is the quote from the transcript of the press conference. He wasn't just advocating for extra military/police presence, he included the everyday, trained and responsible citizen. Hopefully to include the willing and able teachers and school staff.


I still don't get the anti- argument. How can you let a teacher loose with a GUN!? What if they snap and shoot a child!

If a teacher was going to do that, they would bring a gun anyway. And if we can trust them with 25 children all year, why exactly can't they be trusted with a gun and those kids? Especially after some *free to the taxpayer* training provided by the NRA?
