Didn't Columbine have armed security? I imagine the next guy would just shoot the security guard first, and then he would have another gun as well.

Many schools already have them.

I think the teachers should have an option to conceal carry, and if they chose obtain paid training for shoot and no shoot scenarios.

It's absurd to put armed security guards at every school. Doing so just addresses the symptom, not the problem.

David, If the symptom being addressed is my 8 year old daughter being shot like a fish in a barrel, then let us be absurd. Less people would have been gunned down if the good guys had guns. You live in morristown for god sakes. the location of freedom to defend yourself. Why don't you understand the concept?

David, I guess you don't have children and you don't really care. I am in the security business, and I install security equipment in embassy's, government buildings, and corporate buildings. Most if not close to all have armed guards to protect the employees. The facts are, the schools world wide are targeted for violent attacks, not just in this country. In countries were guns are hard to get, the attackers use axes, meat clevers, knives, acid, home made flame throwers. Please google "school attacks", you will be shocked to see how many crazy people target children. Why because they are helpless and the perp knows he can do maximum damage before he commits suicide. This is not just a USA phenomena. Please research before you screw up the vote and spread incorrect information and cause other childrens deaths.

David, first please google what I suggested. just last week in san antonio tx a crazy went gunning for his girlfriend in a restaurant, shot her and everyone went running out, he followed continueing to shoot. there was a good guy there that immediately drew her gun and shot him dead. The media won't report this because it does't fit with Your or Obama's agenda that we US citizens are irresponsible with guns. If you google hard you will come up with this story. happened a within a couple of weeks.

Oh, only cops have the intellect to take down a perp? your the fascists ass, that looks to the government to protect you, when they generally only show up to count the money that was stolen and do a body count after the fact.
