Colorado – -(Ammoland.com)- Dave Perry from the Aurora Sentinel and Laura Carno from FASTER Colorado give two sides of the debate surrounding whether teachers and staff should be armed and trained to help stop school shootings.
Aurora (CO) Sentinel Dave Perry wrote an opinion piece about how bad he thinks the policy of armed school staff is. He slammed the Faster school shooting program and was very disrespectful to those who carry to defend their kids in class.
Laura Carno challenged him (below) to a debate. Jon Caldara asked them to debate it on his show. Mr Perry made a fool of himself.
How completely disrespectful to the heroic men and women who would defend our school children from Parkland-like massacres. Perhaps @EditorDavePerry would prefer they die to protect kids? How about it Dave, want to debate this with me? Any takers to host? #copolitics https://t.co/WG9sPa8Ntn

Watch the entire debate and leave your comments below.
Laura Carno should have mentioned that the AMA is bias and not an authority on the subject. She akso should have mentioned the two recent cases where an RSO stopped an active shooter and haveq him refute that.

Where guns are regulated, like Chicago, crime is high, especially gun crime. Where guns are not regulated, crime, especially gun crime is low. This is because the criminals know they will eventually have to face a citizen with a gun in an area where guns are easily owned and carried. The evidence for this is overwhelming. So why does this logic hold outside schools, but doesn’t apply inside schools according to Dave Perry.
Dave Perry is mistaken, deeply mistaken, and if he succeeds at keeping guns out of schools, HE will be responsible for getting kids killed.
Can’t understand, or won’t as in refuses to understand. There is a hellish large difference between the above mentioned.
I’m a teacher and former LEO. I’m trained in ASR. Give ME the tools I need to protect my students, my colleagues, and myself. The decision should be MINE.
Dave Perry has got to be the shining example of what a “doesn’t have a clue” democrap should be. Please someone slap him silly.
This guy is predictable I almost say his response for him ,they all use the same play book ,its getting kinda old maybe we should update it for them . There’s always an excuse for not having the means to protect yourself with these people but I bet they all have security…..uh
This debate makes an assumption that Law Enforcement Officers (LEO’s) are all equally competent and that the training they, and all LEO’s, receive produces an extremely high level of competence. This is a fallacious assumption. The argument that police firearm discharges result in from 10-30% hit ratios is more useful in predicting how armed and trained teachers will be able to react. And incidentally, although I am not comfortable with the general level of firearms proficiency in the LEO community, I do recognize that these ratios are achieved under high stress situations. The public in this country needs to stop… Read more »
maybe this d-sucker would support pails of rocks, desks to hide behind, and bigger biden death-zone/gun-free signs?
Ok, Not one person in America should listen to this idiot. Planes are not High Schools. Correct. They exponentially more dangerous. A discharge of a firearm on a pressurized plane @ anything over 20,000 Ft could result in the death of everyone on board. He wants to trust the science/ Fine. When an active shooter is met with an armed response, (RSO or civilian) the avg death rate falls from 10 to 2. The CDC completed an extensive and definitive study under Obama. 2,600 time a day in the United States Lawful Firearms in the hands of US citizens stop… Read more »
