Serious question...

Should we expect this sign to have any effect on the kind of people who would do harm to our kids?
Is this going to dissuade a mentally ill person from shooting?
or... does it simply provide warning to those who are planning harm?

I certainly like the sentiment, but I find myself wondering whether the net results are a plus or minus.

I'd be more than happy to send you the contact information for the Superintendent and Head of Security at our local ISD (about 15 minutes south of Argyle) if you want to do some marketing. :mrgreen:

Question: How did this program in Argyle get started? Was it the ISD that was the catalyst or did some parent group get things going? I'm interested in any insight into the political process that might help me make some inroads here. My brief conversation with the local Superintendent was less than promising.

Welcome to the forum. :tiphat:

When he mentioned this was a possibility about a year ago, I popped off that if he thought they could pull it off, that I would do free Handgun 101 and/or CHL classes for any employee of the school district. Another "small" local school got wind of it and we set an all-time record number of CHL students packed into the DCSA classroom. They subsequently came back in pairs for shooting sessions as applicable. Quite proud of some pretty precious people there and some other accomplishments in the past several months, including Div. 3 State Football Championship in December. :mrgreen:
That's awesome...!

I've occasionally considered taking the instructor class, just so I can offer freebies like this to good causes.
Somehow time and money always seem to become obstacles. :roll:

Re: Argyle ISD School Employee Carry

I think this is a good start. Would love to see less paranoia about letting already-vetted people carry, but I'll score this in the win column.
