Guarding the children...

Probably the only to way to protect children in the classroom, is to have an armed guard in every classroom, and at all school activities..

The solution might be to have a parent, -- one child's parent, - in every class (a volunteer parent with a cc permit). Such parents could volunteer to attend one of their children's classes on a day to day basis, --- granted, - it will be difficult to find enough parents with the concealed carry training, and the time to spare.

Many more school shootings, and we may find more out of work parents (and some employed) --- willing to qualify, and to devote several hours a week to this scheme.. After all, who has more incentive to protect their child, and all the other children in any specific class?

Individual School Boards would have to work out the details and scheduling, of course,_and vet the parent volunteers..

A plan of this type could very well work (to start) in rural areas, where both parents and school authorities are likely to be normal, conservative people..

Comments? Is there anything fundamentally flawed with this idea?

You don't need to have an armed guard in every classroom, and the cost for that, even in terms of volunteer time, would probably be impractical. I haven't checked but I'd be surprised if nationwide, the number of innocent teens who died violently since this attack occurred has not already surpassed the number killed by Cruz on Feb 14.

But the first line of defense is deterrence. Most potential shooters of the Cruz type (the ones who don't plan to suicide themselves) will be dissuaded from carrying out the act at all just knowing there are some armed people in the school, with the further wildcard that they'll be less than certain where all of them are.

I think if just 20% of teachers were armed, it would go a loooong way, preferably 30-35% would be a min so one classroom in 3 has armed protection, basically ensuring that an armed teacher will always be no more than 1 classroom away. Add to that a few patrolling armed guards and you got a strong deterrent even with suicidal shooters. No, it won't mean no kids will ever get killed, but the loss of life should be minimized, which is the best you can ask for.

But the scenario that hasn't played out at a school is a Vegas style attack, for which these steps wouldn't do much good. For that, you require defensive snipers.

But in any event, one thing seems obvious is that the "gun free school zone" thing absolutely has to go.

Arming teachers is out, as far as I can see in the news reactions.

And saying "it's the best We can ask for", or raising the issue of costs, are sure losers..

Thanks for your reply though.. Good points...

I'm sure there are many teachers that would open carry or concealed carry if given permission to do so. I think it was Ohio where a Sheriff had a free CC class for teachers fill up about instantly.

Well, maybe it's not emotionally palatable, but it's very true, and any parent should recognize from day one of becoming a parent that there are no guarantees as to how long a child will live, and appreciate every day accordingly.

No measure either pro-gun or anti-gun will guarantee protection of all kids at all times from all school threats while at school. None. That's reality.

Arming teachers is out on a national scale, as far as I can see in the news reactions from teacher associations, political socialists, etc.

We agree that it's a good idea.. Thanks...

I wouldn't be so sure. Trump was failing in all the polls too, before he won the election, and the news about the deputies failing to enter the school, regardless of whether it was wise of them or not, certainly adds a strong argument to arming teachers. It might take a few more school shootings to drive that point home, unfortunately.
