Everyone isn't saying that. Only your fellow gun control kooks are. The claim that it's more effective was disproven in FL. "Expertly trained security" is also very expensive. It's cheaper to pay bonuses to a dozen teachers to train and carry a concealed weapon than it is to have one full time security gaurd.
Exactly what would be required in this training? Would it be simply becoming proficient in shooting at a static target? If so, what kind of shooting scores would be required for the teachers to carry?
Or, would they be required to take tactical shooting courses so that they would learn how to use cover and fire a weapon from different positions?
When I was part of the Security Force, it took me 4 months before I qualified for my Expert Sharpshooter Medal. And, that was training for 1 week out of every month, with a couple of days reserved for range time. Not only did we learn to shoot from various positions using various kinds of cover, but we were also taught ammo control.
And....................how many hours a month are these teachers going to have to train to qualify for their bonuses?
These are questions that should be answered when you say to train teachers to carry weapons in school.
Was your training based on the likely enemy of one or two armed amateurs attacking the base?
Random shooters were part of the training, but so was riot and crowd control.
Actually had to use that once when we had a visiting ship that got protested by the locals.
SO, the scenario(s) envisioned for the armed teachers were just a part of your training.
So, comparing YOUR training, as a prime response team to a lot of potential, and very high level threats, to that for a last ditch back up defense, against a much more limited and smaller threat,
is not reasonable.
Okay..................what kind of training would YOU require for the teachers to have? Being able to shoot a tight group at a target is just a small part of it, because in active shooter situations, the target is shooting back.
And yeah, I DO think it's important for a teacher to know different shooting positions, Weaver stance, on one knee, knowing how to take cover behind doors and windows, etc.
So...............again.................what kind of training would YOU require teachers to have so they could carry in schools? Is being able to shoot accurately enough, or should there be more?
Send them to a two week gun fighting course at Front Site in AZ.
