I’m a disabled vet, but can sit in a chair and watch a door. The day after the shooting in connecticut I proposed this same Idea to my local sherriff, whether it be me or anyone else doing it, armed or unarmed, why not let us volunteer. I was met with ‘parents wouldn’t want strangers guarding the school’ to which I suggested background checks and a Sherriff volunteer t-shirt as uniform, but alas, I find that this Idea has been completely blown off by everyone I have talked to in my area. Something does need to be done, unfortunately the only things they will let us do is die while taking away our guns.

I have EXTENSIVE training in Security and Law Enforcement and Currently Teach in NYS the required Security Officer Courses. I sent a letter to our School Superintendant and he never bothered to even respond back. I also volunteered through the NRA.

Every school should send some staff to Frontsight to be trained. It would be a hell of lot cheaper than giving out billions in foreign aid.

While I agree with Jeff and think that this is a logical proposition, it has one flaw. It doesn’t fit the gun-grabbers narative. Their logic is the more “gun free zones” the more shootings, the more gun control.

I have held an CCW permit for some ten years, and the only time I have had to draw my weapon was to defend myself from two dogs who were going to attack me. Wisely, they chose not to. Sometimes a firearm and a strong warning will stop an attack, even by a dumb animal.

I have a 7 and a 1 year old grandson. I am also a NRA certified firearms instructor. I would put my life on the line for them and for any other kid that some scumbag tried to harm. Here I am, send me!
