    I do think this is an overreaction to school shootings.
    But then again, so is gun control.

    (Large-scale killings in schools are actually rather rare, when the statistics are taken as a whole. Yet there's been a lot of emotional reaction, lots of silly laws already passed, or proposed, with the aim of trying to do something about this phenomena. For the most part it's a knee-jerk response)

    We've had this program for years and ya'll are only just now learning about it. That should clue you in that there is nothing wrong with the program.

    Then the individual in question could easily do the same to an armed school resource officer, and the situation would be no different.

    A kid won’t know the teacher is armed until they draw their weapon.

    My wife attended his LTC class. He and his wife have a great school and I highly recommend them.
