Specifics eh? We are talking about hypothetical situations so anything I say you can shoot down as not specific.
Suffice it to say that most schools are not CIA Headquarters & secrets are few & far between.
I wouldn't want to disappoint you, so I'll say it: not specific enough. :mrgreen:
I'm not so old that I don't remember school. Sure there's a rumor-mill, a huge one...but the leakage between the teachers' rumor-mill and the student rumor-mill is mostly one-way. There was a rumor that my 10th grade English teacher carried a pistol in her purse... no one ever tried to find out for sure, and no one messed with her, and I have no idea if the rumor was true. At most students might have a suspicion that Mr. X or Ms Y was armed, but no certainty. They're as likely to guess wrong as right, or more so.
Now, another point... students will ill-intentions are already bringing guns to school, guns obtained elsewhere. The Columbine killers obtained their weapons from nonschool sources.
If there had been a few armed adult staffmembers at Columbine the body count might have been far lower.
Next point: there are already some guns in schools. The "resource officers", LE's, typically carry them in plain sight. A couple of big, strong, young thugs acting together could have a decent chance of getting his gun, and they KNOW he has one because it is in plain sight. So, why doesn't this happen more often? Answer: because it is risky and there are easier ways of getting a gun.
Taking a gun from Coach Bolick would be just as risky, IF you knew for sure he was packing and IF you could figure out WHERE the gun was
concealed.
I disagree. Knowing all they have to do is overpower Miss Landers is a very easy way to get a gun.
As someone said, it is improbable that little Miss Landers, the delicate little flower that she is, will be one of the people packing. Let's say perhaps she's not so delicate as she seems, and she IS packing... first they have to know that she is with reasonable certainty (see CONCEALED CARRY), they need to figure out where the gun is concealed FIRST if they want to get to it before she does, and then they have to carry out their nefarious plot and hope the rumor mill was correct.
Easier to buy a 'gat from the same guy you get your weed from and sneak it in.
I spent most of my life as a Special Agent in the Justice Dept. so I'm quite familiar with your world, & to argue that school personnel would make good candidates for advanced firearms training/tactical use is simply not a compelling argument to me.
My respects for your service, then... but I suspect that since I've been teaching civilians for several years now, I have a better appreciation than you, perhaps, for how many of them are indeed both willing and able to absorb advanced firearms training.
