Your thoughts?


Such 'professionals' should know what they are doing, but its been proven time and time again
its a crapshoot as whether they actually do.

A competently armed on the spot school staff member even without such 'pro level skills' could still potentially
dissuade a perp from continuing (or starting) his destructive rampage....and it may take a lot less than
spraying 30 rounds from a Glock to do so.

Consider that critical seconds and ASAP responses can count toward saving lives.
... it may not always require killing the prep....or always require jackboot SWAT or Delta Force skills.

Well then,..Those LE/military minds that are to be given the responsibilty of 'appropriate training' better be very select,
you only have to see how hopeless and inept some specialist anti-terror trained LE are on the job now.
