I talk to a current security officer at my grandchildrens Omaha school, and they are still unarmed. And BTW, they are identified as Security on their clothing.

They might as well label their clothing with FBS (First to Be Shot) or HBT (Human Bullet Trap) because they can't provide any real security when it comes to a crazy person with a gun.  This was the knee jerk response in Lincoln after that POS that came into a grade school and molested a boy. 

Similar to what I saw after 911.  One major airport would make you pop the trunk on the vehicle so they could look for bad things (weapons, bombs, etc.).  So they would look into the trunk, see several large, heavy suitcases, boxes and various other containers and then waive you through.  Oh yeah...because anything that was a bomb or had a weapon in it would be properly labeled. 

This made the average ignorant individual feel good that they were protected.  SHEESH!

I could have sworn I saw armed security at Omaha North and Central when we went there for open houses last year.

Having knowledge of Omaha North and what they do, my daughter is a student there;  They do bring in off duty Police to act a security for some events, and a open house might be a time that they would to make it appear they are providing the best security possible.  The off duty officers doing this may be wearing their uniform (OPD) or they may be in one of OPS's Security uniforms, I have even seen one wearing what looked like one of the OPS uniforms that had OPD markings and his badge on it.  There every day campus security is not armed, but there is normally an armed resource officer in the school. 

I believe that the OPS campus security folks have a list of officers (many of who are resource officers for their day job) that they can and do hire to provide security on a part time as needed basis.

Those who stand in the way of armed guards in schools should be held responsible for their crimes if, God forbid, there ever is a mass murder in one of our schools.  (Those who think they are not crimes might want to read the 2nd Amendment, as well as the preamble to our state Constitution, and reconsider their opinion.)  These anti-gun bigots are in effect acting as accessories to these murders, and the innocent blood is on their hands.  Patriots should make this known to them. 

CHP holders have an excellent record for safety and responsible gun use.  Many are retired and have time to volunteer.  Special training could easily be made available, with so many certified instructors in the state.  There is no valid reason for our schools to be defenseless.  Arguments to the contrary are based in lies.
