(They already do, at least in Utah.)<br /><br />Whether or not anyone likes SROs, they've been around for decades and aren't likely to be going away any time soon.Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07285540310465422476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-15533590468853976902013-02-03T12:51:32.622-05:002013-02-03T12:51:32.622-05:00There are two quite simple reasons I don't wan...There are two quite simple reasons I don't want cops guarding the schools:<br /><br />1) I don't want to hear even more news about elementary students being handcuffed and interrogated. (Google "handcuffs elementary school" if you don't understand this.) <br /><br />2) They stand out, and therefore they'll only be effective against those shooters that haven't planned ahead. Either the shooter will learn their schedule and plan to start while the SRO is out to lunch (Columbine?), or the shooter will learn their schedule and habits and ambush them first. <br /><br />So the ideal armed guard for the school has no arrest powers or illusions of competency as a detective, and blends in with the other adults in the school. In fact, this guard needs a cover identity as a teacher or other staff member, and she or he needs to actually be doing that job, because kids *do* notice things like a teacher that doesn't teach. <br /><br />So the ideal armed guard for a school is a teacher or other staff member with a concealed carry permit.<br /><br />Let the shrieking begin.<br />markmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-67909623614564515112013-02-02T19:45:13.256-05:002013-02-02T19:45:13.256-05:00Didn't Israel have a bit of a problem in the 6...Didn't Israel have a bit of a problem in the 60's or 70's, with happy-go-lucky Hamas types barging into schools an shooting up the occupants?

In accordance with that principle, let us get rid of all the laws that unconstitutionally impede the assertion of that right. Enact Constitutional Carry for all. Let the Government work with the NRA under the original intent of the NRA to get all U.S. citizens who are interested proficient in the safe and effective use of arms.<br /><br />What would be the effect of this? Want to go to the movies and carry? Do it. Want to teach 2nd graders and carry? Do it. Want to go to the movie theater or the elementary school and shoot innocent people? Don't do it. There are lots of people there carrying guns and they know how to shoot and hit what they aim at. To go there with bad intent would be crazy as your chance of long term survival would be minimal. To the left, that is a dystopian vision. To the rest of us, what we have now is dystopia.<br /><br />My favorite Col. Jeff Cooper quote is as follows: “One bleeding-heart type asked me in a recent interview if I did not agree that ‘violence begets violence.’ I told him that it is my earnest endeavor to see that it does. I would like very much to ensure—and in some cases I have—that any man who offers violence to his fellow citizen begets a whole lot more in return than he can enjoy.”<br /><br />http://www.sightm1911.com/lib/rkba/Cooper_Quotes.htm<br />Ednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-25913800329479093532013-02-01T20:44:45.852-05:002013-02-01T20:44:45.852-05:00My shop was across from the local HS for 17 years....My shop was across from the local HS for 17 years. Lot of teachers and administrators bought guns from me and a lot of them kept 'em on campus. For protection. Not so much from outsiders, as from some of the little darlin's enrolled there.<br /><br />SRO's were stationed there starting in the mid 90's; true sworn LEO's from the Sheriff's Office. For protection. Not so much from outsiders, as from some of the little darlin's enrolled there.<br /><br />Tom hung around my counter from his first year as a jailer at the SO in '86, progressing through the ranks of patrol, detective, and eventually head of the CSI unit, and winding down for the last few years as SRO when they started placing them at the middle schools. He said it was the most dangerous stint of his career, yet he never had a confrontation with an outsider other than some irate parents. It was some of the little darlin's that posed the greatest threat to the other students, to the teachers, and even to him. In middle school. Last year he retired at 25 years instead of the planned 30, to go into a less stressful and dangerous business.<br /><br />So I helped him startup his new gun and pawn shop.<br /><br />Not sure what this says; maybe that the threat from fucked-up outsiders, while exploited and co-opted by some to further their own agenda, pales in comparison to the threat from within that our fucked-up system has fostered with our complicity...but it's true. the pawnbrokerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16643081755036536592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-91963375874977685152013-02-01T20:34:20.591-05:002013-02-01T20:34:20.591-05:00Okay, I'm glad I'm not the ONLY one that h...Okay, I'm glad I'm not the ONLY one that heard that and went WTF???

I could be a bit forward of that due to wishful thinking and how cool the idea is and thereby might have misheard -- a kind of media mondegreen -- the news items.<br /><br />Also for School Resource Officer. Not gonna claim any special knowledge, but Cincinnati Public Schools started a program while I was in HS. That would be between 66 and 72. <br /><br />We had two during my tenure at Walnut Hills. Don't remember the first one except he had a really wicked wry sense of humor. The second was was Ossifer Sferro, and he got pictures and credits in the yearbook. <br /><br />Had a mighty tolerance for dope-smokin' hippies, too. I recall one incident where a pot plant got mated to the aerial of his cruiser and pictures taken. He... well, had a good sense of humor about it.<br /><br />MMark Algerhttp://www.babytrollblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-27281114063271199172013-02-01T16:55:44.401-05:002013-02-01T16:55:44.401-05:00Ted N,
