Wouldnt it be smarter to use an off duty cop that actually knows the law? Just because someone was once in the military doesnt mean they would be a good candidate for a job like this.Originally Posted by simontibbett

That's why there is a hiring process and yes for security. We had one at my school.
Probably, I didn't say I agreed with it 100%.
A hiring process would be good. Some type of extra training, didn't Obama recently mention some type of school security program?
I went to two high schools, one had a staff of probably 7 security personnel. One or two were county police officers, the others were trained, either ex-law enforcement or military. The other school had probably 4 security guards and one county police officer always there.
That may get expensive and may be overboard for what say an elementary school would typically see on a weekly basis in terms of typical fights and what not, but the idea is the same.
I know the CT school had recent security installed, but I still think every school should be up to date as well as they could be. My mom use to teach and they had someone off the streets come in with a knife through one of the side entrances, a teacher saw him and asked if they could help him as he didn't have on ID, luckily two male teachers tackled the man and waited for police, a little later better doors/locks were installed. It may be no match for a shotgun or someone REALLY wanting to get in, but it's better than nothing.
You CAN'T make things 100% safe, that's life, but I think there's possibilities that are affordable for counties and offer a little better security.
Not that you disagreed with anything, just saying my own thoughts on the whole security guard thing. I mean the one HS I went to had a large security center, it was like CTU off 24.Solid wall of security camera screens.
It's the NRA suggesting we put armed guards in school............... and much like anyone else who expresses a rational thought that goes against the leftist agenda, theyre being characterized as insane gun toting maniacs.Probably, I didn't say I agreed with it 100%.

Obama's suggestion for protecting schools is to hang a sign like this one up
A. Many schools HAVE armed guards.It's the NRA suggesting we put armed guards in school............... and much like anyone else who expresses a rational thought that goes against the leftist agenda, theyre being characterized as insane gun toting maniacs.

B. I have yet to meet anyone, even the most "leftie" individual that says that is a bad idea.
The only "bad" would be to have weapon slinging guards strutting around an elementary school or maybe even a middle school. You can conceal a weapon, but we don't need heavily armed soldiers cruising the hallways.
