So how does it work if teachers are armed? [View all]
Do they keep a loaded gun in their bottom drawer. Gives new meaning to "locked and loaded." You have a special drawer built to order so your assault rifle fits in there?
Do you carry it your purse that you set under the desk? Then you forget about your purse and the kids get into it and start playing with the gun.
Do you put it in a locked closet?
And then what? You might have 3 seconds to defend yourself. You grab your purse and try to find the key to the closet. Run across the room and unlock the door and grab the gun.
That whole scenario makes no sense at all.
What does make sense is to have good strong metal doors with metal windows and someone there who watches the parking lot. And who hits an alarm the minute they see someone dressed all in black with a bullet proof vest get out of a car carrying weapons.
That's what they do in the banks around here. They have cameras that watch the parking lots. The minute someone gets out of a car wearing a ballcap, dark glasses and carrying a bag they hit the alarm and all the cameras everywhere are activated. It's not that hard.
