TR – Sir
I will preference this post by saying that in the last two years I have read hundreds of your posts and usually agree 100% with everything you say. However, I find myself very much aligned with NDD on this topic.
In fact, I interpret your posts to be somewhat contradictory in nature.
If I understand you correctly you are trying to say shooting an undetermined number of bad guys running through the halls of a school with innocents all around is static defensive shooting. I believe NDD’s position would be it is in fact CQB.
Secondly, you point out that many law enforcement professionals (including the FBI HRT) in this country are not up to tactical standards. Yet you believe school teachers can be trained during their summer vacation to an adequate tactical standard. I understand we are talking about two different levels of standards but I would submit to you that they are closer together than you think when it comes to having the mindset, ability and fortitude to take decisive action.
I believe a more realistic solution is to educate all teachers in anti-terrorism techniques and employ dedicated professionals that are adequately trained and experienced to handle the counter-terrorism actions (anti-terrorism being everything you do to prevent being involved in an attack and counter-terrorism is everything done to defeat the attack once initiated).
I would guess putting one or two retired military or LEO professionals on staff at a local high school would cost no more than training and incentive paying select faculty members. In my opinion the overall level of security would be much better than anything you could produce from the educator side of the fence.
