As I posted in WHunter's thread, I'd like to see vets and retired police--who are trained in urban fighting, be encouraged to work as substitute teachers. You never know what school has one or more armed subs on campus on any given day. Neither could the terrorist know that there was NOT someone armed and trained on campus. Face it--most of these mass killer/terrorists are chickens and wimps. They choose targets that are vulnerable and present no threat to themselves. The CT shooter was so much a wimp that he killed himself when he heard the sirens of the approaching police.

I think this is a GREAT idea. I had already thought of and even wrote on this forum somewhere about the newly discharged Vets out of work. This allows them to be employed, at least part time, and makes the nut case think twice, if it's possible for such a nut case to think at all.
You would think that since they plan on taking their own life, they wouldn't worry about opposition, but it seems that they do. The nut in Colorado went away from several other theaters that DID allow concealed carry until he came to the one that was the "gun free zone."
