[QUOTE="p228, post: 1094824, member: 27328"] Having mommy take you to the range is not the same as having professional training taught to law enforcement/military. Despite popular belief, there is more to tactical training than standing in front of a stationary target firing round after round. Active shooters are so successful in their killing because they are facing an unarmed and untrained force. Put up against a trained force, they wouldn't stand a chance. Most highly regarded law enforcement/military trainers teach that the primary goal when dealing with an active shooter is to find him and shoot/kill him. If you are the first unit on scene that means get your rifle and armor and go in. No waiting half an hour for the SWAT team. The longer you wait the more lives will be lost. As for weapon transitions, nearly all school shootings involved more than one firearm. Merely playing a video game can instill the need to switch to a from a primary to secondary weapon. It doesn't speak for their knowledge on the subject. It simply shows how hellbent they are on shedding innocent blood. What would you call being afraid of an inanimate object? Do you want to live in a country where a waste of human life can walk into a school and cause a massacre unchecked? Which is why they would stay on one's person. If you are so opposed to teachers carrying then perhaps you are more open to the idea of armed guard/police presence. Several years ago, there was a threat made to a local school. In response the police stationed officers at the entrances until the end of the school year. The only ones who complained were the politicians because of excessive overtime. No one claimed it was oppressive or harming the learning environment, it was seen as a safety measure. [/QUOTE]
