Off-duty LEO's Carrying in Schools?

(1/4) > >>

Mudinyeri:
The actions of an off-duty FBI agent — taking a gun to a Papillion elementary school — have ignited discussion that could make its way to the Nebraska Legislature.

Looks like we may have another legislative battle on our hands.  If Ashford and Chambers can prevent off-duty LEO's from carrying in schools "because of the potential dangers", we're highly unlikely to ever make any headway on legislative changes that would allow CCW permit holders to carry in schools.

RLMoeller:
We should act on this.

I believe we have the public on our side.

GreyGeek:
Looking at the score card ... 
Number of kids killed at school by a person authorized to carry a weapon (on  or off duty) = 0
Number of kids killed at unprotected schools by armed psychos = too many.

Possible controls:
1)  Restrict or punish those not responsible for the school shootings
2)  Notice the overwhelming trend and punish those who are responsible, and modify laws to allow for early identification and restrictions.

3) Train educators and administrators on prevention, identification and reaction; drill regularly

AWick:
Saying he's worried  "because of the potential dangers" because an LEO is on or off the clock is a scare tactic. There is ZERO difference of "on/off duty" except that an on duty officer has a radio and body armor strapped to him/her...
