In addition to the other things I learned in the 18 hour course, I have shown I can achieve over 90% on the Texas LTC course of fire, pass the DPS Shooting Under Duress exercise, and pass the shooting course for a major Texas city police department.

This training seems applicable to businesses and churches, as well as school districts.

Karl Rehn is presenting the class again March 12-13 in Conroe, Texas. https://www.saddleriverrange.com/traini ... -training/

In 2013, the Texas Legislature passed SB 1857, entitled “The Texas School Safety Training Act.” This bill established a process by which license to carry (LTC) instructors can provide a state certified training program for school districts and school employees who wish to have employees with LTCs carry handguns on campus.

In 2017, DPS began offering an instructor certification course to a limited number of License To Carry instructors. KR Training has 3 instructors certified to offer the School Safety course: Karl Rehn, Paul Martin and Tina Maldonado.

That looks like a great program... and having trained at KR before, I bet it is everything it's billed to be!

Why can’t Republicans introduce a bill that would fund the salaries of armed officers in every school in America. The cost of this should be minimal compared to the impact of the tax cuts recently passed. It is time for action it is time for conservatives to step up and actually put forth something to help protect our children.

That would defeat the arguments from most of the left and still provide an extra measure of security and safety of children… This would truly be for the children and would not push any “conservative “agendas of allowing teachers or civilians armed in the schools.

It won’t prevent all of the tragedies and all of the shootings but it would certainly help to minimize the number of incidents and the carnage that takes place at an incident.

There were two armed Sheriffs deputies at this school in Florida. It's going to take a lot more than 1 or 2 people. Offer a salary supplement to teachers who get certified as part of a security detail. That's a better option, IMHO.

Seems to be some conflicting reports. Either way, I agree with your point (although a harder sell to those that don't want "civilians" armed in schools) and conceded up front that it wouldn't stop them all. My larger point is that most of the time, there isn't anyone present with a gun and training. And if we as conservatives put forth something that will actually help, it will as a byproduct, take some pressure off the idiotic legislation to take away the rights of those that are not criminal.

I'm really tired of being on the political defensive when we all know that there are options that can help, and not take away the rights of the law abiding.

I agree with the cultural problems, and that’s obviously much more difficult to address.
