Florida School Shooting Thread

Now Sean, you're putting words in my mouth and not reading the entire thread that we went through last night. I stated yesterday that I believe that teachers should have at least half as much training as I got. And like I stated last night, my training included decent weapons training and 40 hours of LEO. In reality the teachers wouldn't need any of the LEO, and my weapons training amounted to about 16 hours. A typical concealed carry is 8 hours, and from what I'm hearing they usually only last 5. So give the teacher 10 hours of training.

That's what I think should be done. OK, who the fuck am I?? Nobody, but that's my opinion and I'm sticking with it.

 

You know what...you're probably right and I'm probably going overboard a bit (yeah, that's a pun). But wouldn't you think if a teacher is going to volunteer to take on this responsibility that they would also wan to be as prepared as possible?

 

I expect they would. No doubt in my mind that they could receive the required training over summer that would allow them to do this.

 

I like that part. I didn't even get active shooter training. And like I said with G97 earlier, let's hope that a teacher who takes on this task will want to be as proficient as possible.

 

If you have guns in schools there will be some accidents. Accidents happen with everything we use.
Although we strive for safety, kids get killed in school bus accidents on a regular basis yet we still use buses.
There are no perfect answers here. Life is unsafe.
It will kill you.

 

Ban living.

 

Since people are weighing on "all the teachers they know" and their opinions on the topic. The highlighted portion has been the recurring theme in every discussion I have had...wait for it...with all the teachers I know.

 

What, you haven't done your office pop?

 

But that is part of the solution. Not every school employee needs to or should carry. However the POS that wants to rampage cannot be sure who can defend themselves and those around them and who is an easy target. That alone could help stop the tiny number that occur in many cases.

 

No actually I have not EVER thought that. Also as I have said to others locked in the room that the teacher is present in is actually preferable to carry during hours.

Of course I think the best thing is do nothing on a national level. It will be based on panic about a situation that is VERY unlikely to occur for almost everyone. The kind of thing that leads to crappy laws.

 

Yeah that's crazy.... If you're worried about a kid grabbing your gun out of the holster just get one with a retention system. My N82 holster has a patented system that makes it almost impossible to remove unless you want to, then it only take half a second.

I'd imagine the guys who don't CC, yet have all these opinions, aren't even aware of holsters with rentention options.

 

Let the hysteria flow through you.

This is why the ROTC rifles I sometimes sell are orange.

 

That's funny. When I dropped off my son at school yesterday, a girl was walking towards the doors from the parking lot with the same prop. I laughed at the thought that some moron would do exactly what happened in that article.

 

From the article:
"Carole McGranahan, whose son goes to Fairview, said she thinks the district should look at doing away with the color-guard rifles altogether, especially considering today's climate."

It would seem that "thinks" is a gross overstatement for what goes in in her head...

 

No sense in wasting those 17 minutes.

 

Ha Ha...Simeone "CAREER" academy...yeah right...career criminal academy...

 

Children are the victims no matter what
