I mean, statements like, "I'd trust law enforcement to carry before I would (insert profession here)," only negates the Texas CHL for everyone.
That's not fair.boomerang wrote:Did someone say ex-LEO?
Very true. My stance is that from a family new to guns, and besides me, not very comfortable with them. I do agree, however, that the staff member chosen will definitely have proficiency with the weapon. I do like the idea of teachers with CHLs in addition to on-staff officers.Mithras61 wrote:
That seems to be a somewhat narrow view of things. How proficient is Mr. Daniels? How often does he practice? Does he shoot IDPA? Does he take classes on self defense and such? What about the retired officer (remember, many of us get far more time at the range than active duty police officers)?
The school is large enough that even with officers on-site, the chances of them observing any incident in time to react and stop it is pretty small. More armed responders (teachers, administrative staff, etc.) generally increases the likelihood that one will be able to respond in a timely fashion... and will increase the likelihood that they will be able to respond if needed.
