I am not a cop nor do I have any military experience so maybe i am out of line for saying this but how can you be a cop, hear whats going on inside, and just hide outside? i dont know what proper procedures are here (like if you must wait for back up) but how could you just stand outside knowing what horrendous act is going on inside? i know im being a monday morning quarterback so dont be to hard on me.

people are also saying this is an example of why the "good guys with guns" argument for less gun control is invalid

Forget the cop part... how could any man stand there, knowing that kids are being hurt right inside that building, and not act? To hell with SOP and the rules, can you honestly say that there could be any procedure, rule, law, anything that could stop you from trying to save those kids if you knew what was going on? I'd like to think that most people here wouldn't even consider it a choice.

Perhaps it's a good argument *for* having armed veterans?

No one can legally stand outside a school with a firearm unless they are a cop. If a good semaritian had a gun and knew what was going on, the dumbest thing they could do is go into the school. They would be locked up themselves for violation of the gun free zone.

Florida high school shooting thread

NRA attending CNN town hall meeting thread

And in the last hour or two, another thread (in the W/C, iirc) about the Deputy that stayed put when the shooting started.

Legal and Moral aren't always the same thing. Sometimes you can only choose to be one or the other.

This guy was just a yellow bellied coward. His job was to protect these kids and he failed miserably.

This. I'd volunteer in a hot second given the opportunity.

Its just sickening thinking that someone could just sit there listening to that atrocity, makes me sick to my stomach

I'm thinking it would be a solution to a lot of different problems, simultaneously. I was really happy to hear that POTUS suggested it.

It truly would. I'm unemployed and haven't been able to find a worthwhile job for the life of me. I'd be honored to help protect our kids.
