I've seen plenty of tacbeards, PC's with no plates, Glocks, AR's and aggressive stances and facial expressions to last me a lifetime.
Are these folks actually gonna go in, take the fight to the perp, do some good, push push push, get the fuck in there, if it comes to it ? If not, it's just photo ops and larping, again. Would be better off passing a law saying it's a felony to stop a parent entering a building in lockdown where they have a kid, and providing legal and financial support to anyone involved in engaging a perp. |

Or, it could be the sheriff getting the teaching staff into the right mindset. I spent a couple of decades in education. Plenty of the educators I worked with had a pretty bent attitude toward LEOs. I noticed those attitudes change somewhat when the local SWAT team came to our school and demonstrated school clearing drills. Besides, it's Utah, I can imagine that more than a couple members of the staff were quite familiar with weapons. |

I’d say they’re more likely to interdict a school shooter than lots of LEOs that have failed said task, based on several school shootings in the past. |

As did the Ulvade SWAT guys. Yet when it came to it, nobody knew shit about fuck, and nobody put a foot forward. What do we actually know about how these guys drill ? Do they even know how doors are locked, unlocked, how to identify locked status, where to find the keys, how to get through them if no key is available ? Or do they just slow walk down an empty corridor aggressively staring at closed doors on video and call it good ? Like I say, tons of molle, punisher tats and tacbeards, and Karen's fiddlefucking with a gun they only hold once a year. Need to hold off on a Ukraine cash drop and use that money to get some ex-vets in, arm appropriately, put them into senior leadership position in the school hierarchy so they carry some weight in the decision making process, and have them own the whole security picture, from infrastructure, training, drills. No reason why they are not as well prepared and practiced as a team responsible for embassy security are. |

When I was an LTC instructor in TX there was a special class
run for teachers to carry in the classroom. Know how many took the class with me? Zero. There were at least two other instructors in town that I spoke to. Know how many they trained? Zero. In 2+ years as an instructor to the best of my knowledge no teachers took my course, even one of my co worker's wives that I agreed to run a free class for along with however many of her teacher friends that wanted to come. I'm glad they're training. I hope they will be allowed to carry in class and will be willing to do what's necessary to survive and protect their students. I just am jaded as far as teachers go I guess. |

I just am jaded as far as teachers go I guess. Teachers are representative of the population as a whole in that most teachers are too afraid/emotionally immature to choose to carry a concealed handgun. That's not a dig at teachers, that's just reality. Of course, there are many teachers that are ready and willing to carry a concealed handgun and turn the tables against an active shooter, but sadly, they're in the minority. In a just, moral world, a school shooter would get vented by five teachers at the same time. Alas, reality is often disappointing. ETA: the vast majority of teachers who want to carry cannot do so because of either their state's laws or because their district won't allow it. Every single school district in my county voted to not allow teachers to carry, which is fucking infuriating, even though HB99 dropped the training requirements to 24 hours. Nope, we're going to keep subjecting students to lockdown drills that only lead to trauma and fear, and keep demanding that the government infringes on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens. Fantastic. |

This is awesome.
I worked in education for a couple decades and this type of training was never an option. I had teachers in the building that were previously in the military and were currently in the Guard. I also had a couple of SROs that sat on their ass and did absolutely nothing all day every day, especially when I needed them to do something sometimes. Pathetic PHX PD sent them to us, in Maryvale, where we really needed some help. I hope this type of training catches on all around the country. Bravo |

I'm skeptical about teachers carrying, only because it's a pain in the ass and "it's safe here" not because the locals wouldn't happily shoot it out.
also it's tough for women to conceal carry. Their clothes make it inconvenient to carry. I bet most carry in a purse, but will they have somewhere to lock a purse up? |

I had a female teacher that served in Iraq, she was and is a bad ass….AND a former student of the school she taught at. I choose her over any of the SROs I ever had.

If you aren't willing to put up with wardrobe limitations and some occasional discomfort, you probably aren't going to be willing to put in the work you need to fight with a gun anyway. Let the ones dedicated enough to do so carry guns. It's free, it's a faster response than any other option, and it's an excellent deterrent. |

There have been myriad examples of teachers performing true acts of heroism under duress. They tackle armed attackers. They barricade classroom doors, holding them closed against all attempts at entry. They shield their students with their own bodies... and many times pay the ultimate price for their heroism.
If they're capable of those kinds of heroic acts when forcibly disarmed, imagine what they would be capable of if they were allowed to arm themselves in whatever manner suited them? |
