His idea was to have a way to allow those teachers and coaches who have experience with firearms and already own them anyway allowed to CONCEAL CARRY on campus.
For instance, that coach in this latest incident. He loved those kids so much that he jumped in front of them and was shot to death saving them. Now imagine if he had his firearm holstered on his side under his shirt.
He could have went on the offensive as opposed to simply dying by taking bullets.
I think that it's a pretty good idea.
I ALSO think that schools need to "harden" up in other ways as well.
Whenever I would go to my kids school...I parked my car, walked onto campus, walked into the school, walked down the hallway to the office where I "checked in" and they gave me a stick on name tag.
That means I COULD have had a gun and just walked right in and started shooting.
How about student ID cards with bar-codes on them. And an entrance at the front where all the students come in through a turnstile swiping their cards as they enter.
And any parents visiting the school would be stopped right there to show ID, walk through a metal detector, and THEN get a pass to go on to school grounds.

I'm still not sure how I feel about armed teachers, but I like the idea of having all the doors lock and having the kids have ID badges they have to swipe to get into the building so all guests must enter through the main entrance. Hell, half the places I have worked during my life had a similar system.
