[QUOTE="Poke78, post: 2106869, member: 4333"] [url]http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?subjectid=732&articleid=20130215_11_A7_ULNSbk833871&allcom=1[/url] Rarely is a school shooter or dangerous intruder unknown to the staff, he said. If teachers are allowed to pull a gun, they will know that student's family, struggles to make friends, hardships at home, mental-health challenges and even the triumphs and happy times. "The teacher will hesitate to shoot. I will not," Rudick said. "What will you do when there is a dead child on the ground? Let it be the police officer to go home that night and drop his head in his hands and weep. Let it be the police officer to have nightmares or have the public scrutiny afterward. "Let the teachers teach." The grim reality of a shoot-to-kill mindset ingrained in law enforcement training is not being talked about, Rudick said. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Go to the link above for the rest of the article or, if you're a TW subscriber, provide a comment on the article on that web page. I find this to be another chapter of leaving all self-defense in the hands of specialists. I reject that notion. [/QUOTE]
