[QUOTE="TallPrairie, post: 2021911, member: 7815"] And as I posted in the other thread, this sounds exactly right to me. Some kind of training beyond the SDA license should be required. I think of the SDA license as a fairly narrow, "protect yourself and your family" proposition -- whereas we're talking about willingly accepting a responsibility for a much broader group of people in more complex situations. It could be CLEET security certification or some new training and certification as envisioned above. Either way, meaningful training requirements should help make this idea politically palatable. One final thought. Some think most schools would reject this option, and that might be true. But maybe not. A lot of the counterproductive, make-believe "no guns" policies we see today are not really driven by ideology. They are driven by legal departments, citing liability concerns. If a district had capable, certified and trained employees available who wanted to become volunteer security detail, but the district refused, it might risk liability being imposed on it the "other way" if people were then hurt or killed in some terrible incident. A skilled plaintiff's lawyer could make hay with that decision if he gets an administrator on the witness stand. The more serious, detailed, and training-based the armed volunteer program becomes, the more questionable it looks for a school to refuse to make use of such assistance. [/QUOTE]
