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 |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
