A question for all Members of OSA

[kinggabby]

Just sent the same message to the Oklahoman, News 4, KOCO channel 5 and to the Tulsa World. Not sure who else to send the email to.

If a law is passed that would allow teachers to carry weapons, would you all participate in fund raisers and volunteer goods and services. All sponsors and individuals would receive due credit.

I'll start. I pledge $5,000 for training, equipment, transportation, whatever is needed to help keep our kids safer.

I don't have $5000 but I'll pledge $1000.

Maybe we can get some coverage on the webpages for OK2A, OKOCA, opencarry.org, etc?

Here's the Senator's page. I've written to him in approval.http://reelectmccullough.com/

JB, how would Oklahoma law stand against Federal? Commerce clause? I am ignorant.

Not sure, but if the volunteers and teachers were somehow duly "commissioned" like reserve officers, I can't see a problem with it.

You'd have better luck lobbying your legislators at the State and Federal level to bring back the COPS grants that provided funding for school resource officers. While well intentioned the propostion to arm public school teachers isn't ever going to go anywhere.

In case you guys have noticed you're beloved Obama has never been pro-2nd amendment. And those Democratic legislators who you said would never vote for gun control cause they wanted to get reelected, well they'll not only vote for it they'll beat the drum to take your drum magazines away.

Lobby your legislators, start putting the bug in your local school board members. Tell them you want something done. But you better make it reasonable and based on reality or it ain't gonna happen. And the idea to have your local OC'ers act as hall monitors, that ain't gonna happen either.

Then when you're done with that start attacking the real problem. That's a massive breakdown in the moral fiber of our society.

Good points YJ. I've admitted I am coming to believe I made a mistake. Now I am going to do what I can to rectify it. And just FYI to ALL of you...if the Republican Party was not continuously trying to take away my means of making a living, I'd probably be Chair of the party by now.

You can take the lead on that one. The ole "massive breakdown in the moral fiber of our society" wasn't an issue in Bath Township, Michigan, 'long about 1927, was it?

The only thing that will attack the massive breakdown in the moral fiber of our society is a miracle, or the second coming. Now, what do you suggest that teachers do in their classrooms to survive an active shooter?

My thoughts are a course that's tailored to the specific mission at hand. We're not expecting school employees to do policing, just defense of the kids. The time and training needs to be narrowly focused IMO.

I agree
