The superintendent of the Clarksville School System has provided over fifty hours of law enforcement training for twenty teachers and staff, and a voucher for them to purchase a firearm to carry in school.
The merits of this approach to school safety can be, and rightfully should be, fully discussed before implementation.
Part of this discussion should be about the ins and outs of carrying a weapon. Enter Staying Alive: How to act fast and survive deadly encounters. There is a full chapter on Is it logical for you to carry? The various concerns for carrying a weapon are covered, as are various non-armed ways to protect yourself.
In its most basic form, safety begins with the individual. If the individual is not safe, then the group cannot be safe. Thus, learning to protect yourself is the building block for keeping your home, your workplace, or your school safe.

Warrick School Officials Promise Heightened Security after Threat of Shooting at Castle High
Boonville, IN
Warrick County School Corp. officials say there will be increased security, such as locking all outside doors except for the front entrance, in response to a threat a Castle High School student made on Facebook about bringing a weapon to school.
Monday's Warrick County School Board meeting was standing-room-only as more than 60 concerned parents and students turned out to discuss the incident.
The threat on the Castle High School student's Facebook page stated: "First day of school going to be great guys! Most of you will see me raise the weapon, but let's see how many of you can out run the bullet. Castle high here I come." The student then commented on this post, saying "The funny part is most of you take this as a joke."
