This is why I can't stand discussing things with some of you . . . .
Please pay attention to what I'm saying here. Are you ready to read and comprehend?
I believe that one of the solutions to limit shootings at schools would be for schools to hire DEDICATED security guards who have the sole job of protecting the school and occupants (this is done every day in federal buildings and courthouses). The school's physical security would be adjusted such that there would be a single (guarded) point of entry. Every exterior door would be equipped with a door alarm to notify security staff that it is opened. The school security would be located in a position to defend the entry and prevent an unauthorized person from gaining entry. This is night and day different than police chasing someone who gained entry via an open door. Also, allowing teachers who choose to be armed to do so in order to be a last line of defense for their specific classroom should also be an option. I'm not asking teachers to roam the halls and search for a shooter. I'm asking that they be given a chance to defend themselves and their students.
Using the lack of response from police as justification for not supporting school security is ridiculous.
