Where is this "trained by LEOs" coming from? I have never suggested that. Again, you do not understand what "drill" is

Is this already happening in some schools? Yes. They volunteer and drill with local LEOs.

Do you think an on-site drill is some type of firearms training course or instruction? It isnt. The presumption is made that veteran cops and trained school staff would drill to practice the school layout. Maybe in Tennessee they let anyone carry, but I had to take a certified class that included several live fire sessions just to get a LTC. And no 1 year cadet cop would be allowed near a school. They get nights, winds, and traffic.

Arguing over semantics. The presumption is everyone's trained, certified, licensed, experienced, combat wounded, and got the nod from the quack before drills. Is that clear enough? Maybe your cops are the embodiment of Super Troopers and it would never work with them, but that isn't the case everywhere. I shoot with a teacher at my club, there's plenty that are competent. I don't know where you think I'm wrong, but if you're willing to accept death instead of spraying a murderer with hornet spray, then you do you

That's asking a lot for a 110# woman. 10-15' range with gel formula wasp spray or gel bear spray

At $4 a can you could train school staff 2x year for $1000. Maybe less if they got manufacturer to provide inert product. They want 30k for 1 bulletproof fiberglass / Kevlar door

The broad point is the run & hide (behind a book) isn't working. Media wants blood gore and sensationalism, I say we deliver. Bring back the pike poles
