[QUOTE="BIG_MIKE2005, post: 2022270, member: 3309"] I'm all for our teachers/school administrators to be trained & capable of handling these threats before emergency services can arrive. I honestly believe it can save lives. It's definitely better than a "close the door & pray" type plan they currently employ. To me that is just making yourself a sitting target like that poor teacher who hid her class but not herself & ended up shot. Had she been armed & had the children hidden at the same time she could have positioned herself in the room to engage a threat if it entered. Could very well have saved her life & some of those other children as well. But thats just my opinion. Sadly I think there are too many people who cannot grasp this concept in our society to ever allow it to happen though. Yet they will cry in the streets about making schools safer, but unwilling to do whats its gonna actually take to make them as safe as possible. [/QUOTE]
