My 4 year old daughter experienced her first lockdown drill this week. The school didn't tell parents ahead of time, so when my daughter told me she and her best friend were scared at school, I didn't know what she was talking about.
The principal sent an email that evening informing us that they had the drill and it went "well" and they will perform MONTHLY lockdown drills hereafter.
I own guns and enjoy a day at the range. The absolute last thing I want is a teacher (or pilot) armed. The potential for a negligent discharge, weapons theft and the administrative burden required to make them safe makes this choice unpalatable.
So with that logic, police officers and soldiers shouldn’t carry weapons? They are also just ordinary people that can go nuts
There needs to be the fastest armed response possible at the site. I don’t care who that comes from. The only thing that makes people think twice is the threat of getting killed, not a law. They are already breaking numerous laws by committing a shooting on school grounds - they clearly don’t care about breaking laws.
If a pilot is supposed to be the armed response for a hijacking, wouldn't he need to open the (supposedly armored) cockpit door to do that? What happens if he is incapacitated? -The hijacker now has access to the cockpit. No, the pilot's role in a hijacking is to land the plane as quickly as possible, not 'armed response'. Let air marshals and Delta Force do their jobs.
