School safety is critical
The number of school shootings seems to have recently increased exponentially. Daily strip searches of students, staff, and visitors for guns, knives, and other weapons will not eliminate problems. Weapons are not the problem, human behavior is the problem. “Weapon free zones” create killing fields. One or two armed police officers would not stop a determined killer. They would be the first killed. Immediate defense to protect schools requires well trained teachers, staff, and parents. Legally carried concealed weapons (lethal or non-lethal) can quickly limit or prevent harm. Rapid response (seconds, not minutes) requires both well trained people and immediate access to weapons to disrupt the attack. Custom shotguns, securely stored, with ballistic bean bag ammo could disable threats with less danger to other people.
