Kentucky school district that passed a resolution to train and arm school employees with firearms in the event of an active shooter has scrapped that plan and will instead have uniformed deputies patrolling schools. The Pike County Sheriff's office tells WSAZ that deputies will patrol the Pike County School District's five high schools when the school year begins. They will also be checking on the elementary and middle schools.

It won't work. Too little coverage.
One resource officer can't possibly cover a whole school and be exactly at the location necessary to immediately stop an active shooter, and that assumes that there are only five schools with one officer each.
It's frustrating that no matter what, emotion-driven, knee-jerk decision-making rules the roost when it comes to peaceable non-government actors with legal guns.
The true solution is unavoidable, yet they continue to avoid it. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
