It would be voluntary, with bonus pay, I believe.

They don't engage at an effective rate of fire.Piece of Cake said:What happens to the teachers that refuse to be armed?

Jarnhamar said:I'd guess that if someone gets their hands on a gun and they make it to school/work place undetected they'll have a high probability of taking out at least few people before being stopped.
Looking at the recent Florida shooting I just can't believe there wasn't more that could have been done to intercept this guy. Mangling small animals, apparently pointing a gun or guns at people's heads. Dozens of police calls. Th repats of violence against people. They had to have been able to get him on the radar and on a weapons ban list for something.
I think it's great the police SOPs are to charge in the minute they get there. If we took a long hard look at prevention and figured out what tools we could give police to do something about crazy behavior and threats we could save a lot of lives. Not even just preventing these people from getting guns but getting them help so they don't just use a knife or car.

Piece of Cake said:Humphrey Bogart,
I agree teachers should not be armed. I also agree that in older schools, security could be improved. However, the risk with new security measures, card swipes, readers, mag locks, ect. is fire. The last thing anyone wants to see is students die because they are trapped in a burning school.
Yes, when the fire alarm goes off the mag locks should release, and card swipes become inactive. However, from personal experience, i know these systems sometimes fail.

Humphrey Bogart said:You realize on key swipe doors, the doors can always be opened from the other side of the swipe. It's called a fire door for a reason.
Piece of Cake said:And your going to ask students aged anywhere from 5-19, to not hit the emergency release switch during a non-emergency?
