Millard South Shooting
Hardwood83:
There are 2 different issues here. First the responsible party is the cowardly murderer that perpetrated this act. The other issue is the hand-wringers and opportunistic, tyrannical vultures that use these horrible circumstances to further their agenda to control others & infringe freedoms. They are 2 sides of the same worthless coin.

If this was an unarmed school employee, it reiterates that unarmed security is no security at all especially in the total absence of combat mindset. If this was their assigned armed resource officer, words just fail me.

One article read that the officer was indeed unarmed.
This information also left me without words. Some folks at work responded with, 'well he doesn't get paid enough to put his life on the line, just make the phone call.' BS!! As far as I'm concerned, you don't take a job as a school security for the money, whether off duty officer or rent a cop, you do it to protect the our children. If the mindset is not there to do the right thing when the time comes, then go home, your just takin' up space. (or as mama always said- crap or git of the pot!)

I guess i'm in the same mind thought....I don't have the words, this also extends to those who do have ccw and if they could defend others in the time of evil..... I pray for those who were lost and left behind to deal with this tragic loss of life, and to moreso commit myself to training and mindset of protection of self and loved ones as well as the innocent.
Roper:
A question that goes down a different line - is the father liable from either a criminal or civil standpoint since his son had access to his firearm? I'm not interested in the fact that the father is a LEO, but rather from the standpoint that he was a lawful gun owner who's firearm was taken by someone who wasn't and committed a felony.

I'm betting Sen. Council will mention it sometime during the next 90 days.
