I suppose it's possible they could be out of danger and come running in, weapon already drawn and ready to fire. I still give them poor odds on actually hitting the gunman before they're killed unless they manage to take him by surprise. Perhaps waiting outside the schoolroom until he's done with all the kids in there and makes to leave.
If teachers or school admin then such persons should be volunteers--in that they come forward and nominate themselves--and they should undergo regular tactical training. If not in school personnel then create positions for professional security or sub contract law enforcement.
My county had a grant funded position in the high school for many years, we drew from the county police. One officer was assigned the position and he was on duty during as every other officer. Then the grant dried up.

Well it was Seth's suggestion that schools be made into maximum security facilities (much like prisons except they shouldn't look like one and the inmates get to leave at the end of the day).

No I'm suggesting that the sheep and the wolves are the same people and better to make sure they are all declawedYour theory is like suggesting that it's better for the sheep that they have no defense against wolves. If sheep had a quick reactions, canine teeth and feline claws, that would be "worse" for the sheep because some of them might attack a wolf first?
When only criminals carry guns the police know exactly who to shoot!

You've been thinking about this a lot, haven't you?
As the evil gunman, you'd have to know who the designated defenders are.
I suggest that that be kept out of the public knowledge and such person not wear anything that designates them--no uniform, no badge, no fancy hat with patches.
Loose lips sink ships. I find it hard to believe that in planning an attack the gunman would find it very difficult to discover who the garrison is. Probably along with where they'll be at a given time of day and what they're carrying, or where their firearms are safely stored. I would think it practically impossible to keep it secret with a few hundred observant and chatty kids in the facility.
There would be more than one such officer in place.
Any staff who disclosed this information, should be fired and prosecuted if they aren't shot by the evil bad guy.
Any staff who had close family with psychological or intellectual disabilities would be ineligible.
One firearm would be safely stored on their persons.

Wrong. You're arguing that it is good becuz animals do it. It's nature, therefore good. Naturalistic fallacy dood.

Seth wrote:There's a reason for that. I know you don't want to hear it, but it's true. Civics has not fallen by the wayside of public education, it's been deliberately elided and replaced with Marxist indoctrination. The left-wing school teachers and administrators don't want kids growing up knowing they have civil rights and that the central government is intended to be closely constrained by the Constitution so as to maximize individual liberty as much as possible, because that doesn't fit with the Marxist agenda of breeding new generations of pliable, obedient proletarian dependents who will obey their leaders without any independent thought.Coito ergo sum wrote:Basic civics is really lacking in most people.
