[QUOTE="DRC458, post: 2022720, member: 530"] I know the Enid Public Schools employed CLEET-certified security guards in the past, and I assume they still do (my kids have been out for a while). I don't know how many other people would be willing to do the same, but I would stand by my offer to get CLEET-certified at my own expense, and [I]volunteer[/I] my time for the schools. No $40k, no $20K, no$10K. Every little bit would help and, I think with CLEET certification, school boards and administrations would be more likely to accept. What's the down side, seriously? I know it's not a total solution, but it's certainly better than sitting on our hands and doing nothing. And, I know some teachers who would never be comfortable carrying a firearm in the classroom for a variety of different reasons. I honestly believe some of them would retire before agreeing to receive training and start carrying in the school. I know others who would jump at the chance, and be damn good at it. I just don't believe there would be enough of them to go around. IMHO. [/QUOTE]
