Those are budget issues not obstacles. I don't have the answers and the only way anything will be done is by committing to it. I guess as schools arm themselves a blueprint will start to form on what works. We all know that there is tons of waste in budgets so that's a good place to start. Some cities may have the ability to offer part time work to off duty or retired police officers, ex Military Police?
As far as training security personnel....that would be an option for sure. My point was that as cooler heads prevail things are starting to shape up, maybe weed out the emotions a bit. No one can protect us from crazy folks all the time and the world is changing. I think it's a shock to think armed police officers need to be at schools or roaming certain schools but something other than controlling guns (dumbest idea ever in my book) has to be done.
I have heard people gripe about how are we going to protect malls and office buildings as on and on...We are not is my answer. You cannot fix stupid or crazy. Legally armed citizens is fine and has worked time and time again. It's not the kind of news the media wants to push so it gets buried or not reported. When you look at the stats on deaths by guns and other means you see how blown out of proportion this control thing is. It's politics as usual and our great weiner in chief loves this stuff.
