Common Sense School Protection
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine is on the right track correcting the onerous training hours requirement- this will allow staff to actually carry. Odd how this is not an option on the verbal “framework” the Senate is touting. But that’s for another post.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine Signs Bill Allowing Teachers To Carry Guns In Schools With 24 Hours Of Training
DIANA GLEBOVA
Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine confirmed Monday that he signed a bill allowing teachers and school staff to carry guns in school with reduced training.
The bill, HB99, reduces the number of hours of training the staff members have to get to carry a firearm within the school. Under the new law, teachers and other staff must possess at least 24 hours of training, compared to the previous over 700 hours of training, according to local outlet NBC4.
The 24 hours includes 18 hours of general training, two hours of handgun training, two hours of “additional” general training and two hours of “additional” handgun training, according to the outlet.
Now, about hardening those schoolhouses. Thanks, Poe.

Even better (as kids in the ‘hood have already done)… plus, as Kyle Rittenhouse showed, it keeps the pedos away:
P.S. I’m being snarky, but how long before kids stop trusting teachers/cops and start packin’ something?
Your not wrong…..
The school “resource officers” (aka school cops) are already trying to catch guns in school. And they were at my Houston high school in 1969.
(My high school memories are… “interesting”)
Columbine, Parkland and Uvalde, etc. didn’t happen in the inner city because school shooters don’t like taking return fire. Just sayin’.
If homies are strapped and willing to throw down, a soft “gun free zone” target it ain’t.
Mixed emotions.
24 hours is not a lot of training for someone who has never used a sidearm.
That aside, a hard target is a deterrent.
But in the end, some people can pull the trigger with or without training. Some cannot.
Being a Solider is one thing (or having experience in combat arms, LEO, etc.) Being a civilian with no expeince is another.
Generally speaking (and from experience as a kid) some teachers couldn’t safely handle a Slinky… and they’d work a firearm better?
Lets be honest, those in the airforce generally got far less than thgat in basic…
Yep. Even some with several years of military experience don’t know the proper way to shoot.

I’d be good with 24 hours of training if they have 8 hours of refresher every year. Anyone who does that will likely take it seriously and not treat the gun as magical totem that wards off evil.
Might be fun to take some school teachers hog hunting in Texas, cook some BBQ and salvage some of the destruction that feral hogs render when unattended.
There ya go! In addition to the 24hrs training, they should be required to take 5 hogs annually.. Could supplement the school lunch program
I’ve actually been hog hunting with a teacher in Texas. She was a pretty decent shot. But the hogs went to the Mexican Restaurant to help pay for the deer lease.
Chili Verdi, hell yes.
Well, how about there be a manning roster amongst the students for a centrally located bunker with a crew-served machine gun and the appropriate indirect systems for deadspace.
I pulled guard in the Army, it’ll make you a better citizen. Jus’sayin.
I dunno, might take an entire squad of 2nd graders to charge a MK-19.
But think of the hell they could unleash on an invasion of groomers.
Chicoms actually do that for those reasons (guess who we might be fighting soon, too):
Roh-Dog, you Magnificent Bastard! You read my book!
whatssa book?
Welp, that’s a start. And I don’t see anything in the bill that REQUIRES teachers to train and carry, just that they can. I’m sure that the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the gunz grabberz will be forthcoming. After all, control of the gunz is actually about control of We, The People, not the gunz.
“And I don’t see anything in the bill that REQUIRES teachers to train and carry, just that they can.”
Good observation King, one which should create some doubt in the minds of those considering one of these horrible attacks: “Who’s packin’ and who isn’t”, as well as “How many of ’em are packin?” Uncertainty in the minds of the bad guys is good–it can work to the benefit of the good folks.
The downside of this is that, in way too many cases, we’re going be teaching firearm handling to a bunch of loony liberal teachers.
But then, who knows, it could change some attitudes among those lib teachers when they learn how the nearby presence of a loaded handgun that you know how to use can so greatly ease the mind.
We might even make conservatives outta some of ’em… 😜
What is a future Conservative?
A Liberal who has not been mugged yet (or worse).
Make self defense part of the curriculum.
Might curtail the bullying.
Who came up with the requirement for 700 hours of firearms training? That is 17.5 weeks of 40 hours. Sure would like to the syllabus to fill out 700 hours of training.
Climate change, gender issues and a host of other stuff.
And identifying which rounds are capable of blowing out a lung.
Gotta have several boxes of those. At least.
One can never have too much ammo unless drowning or on fire, of course.
A judge, who decided any armed teacher had to have identical training to a police officer. 24 hours of concentrating on guns? Probably more than quite a few security and police get. Go to a range and see how many people spend more than a box of ammo or a half hour.That’s an hour a day for almost 5 weeks.
Whatever firearms training they receive, it should include weapons retention…lest a teacher finds him/herself having to defend against some lunatic in the classroom who might attack a teacher.
The shit might get like this:
