As a former military commercial pilot who serves, I would challenge you to range time anytime, anywhere. As a father, who has children who attend public school I would challenge your personal opinion that I do not have the right to demand that qualified public school educators be armed at all times with the capability to respond to active shooter protocols

"Challenge me to range?" That's twice in one thread. You guys don't get what I am trying to say. Let me try again: IT IS NOT ABOUT SHOOTING BULLSEYES! How are you going to qualify them? Have a minimum average score or something? Once a month? WHAT? You say "arming of qualified" - that is the issue - the "qualified". It's not a freakin' driving test. The light nature with which some take the kind of shooting under discussion leads me to believe some of you really don't have any idea.
This isn't about the 2nd Amendment. It isn't about scoring 70 (or any other number) on a flat range. It is about CQB. You guys call me arrogant? What kind of arrogance does it take to think you are going to train a school teacher to do CQB in a week on a flat range and maintain him at that level with a box of rounds once a month.
You guys kill me. Remember when the they tried to make the teachers take competency exams?
Remember when they called commercial pilots up for DS?
What are you going to say when a teacher feels "threatened" and shoots a kid? Not a beserker, but just a kid that got a little too aggressive?
I'm pissing everybody off and I've said my piece, so I'll stop now. It should be clear how I feel about encouraging amateurs shooting in rooms full of kids. Or airplanes.
Focus should be on denying access, not some last ditch wing and a prayer hope placed on the shoulders of the gym teacher with a gun.
