Conceal Carry in public schools

<< < (2/2)

Nothing makes anything stop at the door, at this time.

This has been a big issue with me also. We as a society consider our children our greatest assets. Yet we make no provisions to "protect them" in situations like this. We place armed guards on a truck carrying money, yet our kids are basically at the will and whim of some scum bucket wanting to cause murder and mayhem. As a security professional, this substandard level of protection or assurance is totally unacceptable. As a bad guy intent on harm, that person asking my name is the first person I take out. They have no means of defense, and that person with no means of defense is the defense the school system chooses to offer our kids. Where is the logic to that?

--- Quote ---Now here is how it relates to firearms.  Let's say we have a loon who wants to come into a public school and get on the front page of the newspaper after he is dead.  If our current system can't even properly log a name so we can catch the miscreant AFTER the crime, then how do they stop someone with a gun?  I would absolutely love for the Lincoln schools to be as sterile and safe as possible, but unless we put up metal detectors and have everyone empty their pockets, then I don't know what benefit there is from restricting concealed carry in a school.

What is to stop a determined mass murderer from just walking up to the guard at the metal detectors and killing them , then doing as they will? No one else will be able to resist the assault in that scenario either.

First, I'd suggest you contact LPS and let them know of your concerns about showing ID, that's a valid concern IMHO if a parent (not recognized by staff) was there to pick up a child.  I have some dealings with LPS on a different level at the High schools, but we've always signed in and had a visual with office staff, even with LPD and US Marshals accompanying our personnel along with LPD resource officers.

I look at it from the perspective of my own front door, as I think you do as well.  I know who's coming in and why.
