Or, has society changed the mentality of men to such an extent that most will not consider doing something like that?<br /><br />I know that back in the 90's, it became common for shooters to be excluded from hiring for LEO positions.

The law says no classroom teachers are eligible, and that the school board and sheriff must approve. If they approved, I would gladly take the class on my own time during the summer, even though it lasts for weeks. <br /><br />Instead, my school gets a pair of cops who each have more than 35 years on the job and are both too old to be on the streets, so they are just sitting around the school collecting a paycheck and waiting until they can retire. <br /><br />The younger of the two first became a cop in 1983. How likely is it that, god forbid there ever was a shooter at my school, that he will hide just like the deputy in Broward county did? Are you willing to bet the lives of your children on that? Too bad, the state says that you have to.Divemedichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14583007051962299381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-61834398317123798362019-01-26T08:09:58.117-05:002019-01-26T08:09:58.117-05:00The Left can't swoop in and save us from the c...The Left can't swoop in and save us from the chaos and violence if there isn't any chaos and violence.<br /><br />And the easiest way to stop the chaos and violence is if you were the one controlling it the whole time.McChuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10243337792601085456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-34346955135336859472019-01-26T03:46:29.130-05:002019-01-26T03:46:29.130-05:00Sheriff Israel was tossed out by current Governor ...Sheriff Israel was tossed out by current Governor DeSantis as almost the first thing he did in office. <br /><br />Ex-Governor Scott?

They WANT random bloody school shootings.<br />If possible they'd like to see one every week. Because major crimes like school shootings are massive propaganda events that the left and the media use DISHONESTLY in their quest to DISARM AMERICA. The people in power do not give a red rats ass how safe Americans are, how many of us are murdered or how many are left grieving. ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS POWER. Absolute power requires that we be ABSOLUTELY DEFENSELESS. Everything else is lies and window dressing.Dannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-73277500247471196052019-01-26T02:27:44.725-05:002019-01-26T02:27:44.725-05:00As someone pointed out earlier this year, we prote...As someone pointed out earlier this year, we protect banks and jewelry stores with armed guards, but children? Heaven forbid! <br /><br />BTW, wasn't Israel tossed by the governor? <br /><br />132 hrs of training! What do they want, swat officers roaming around? Unless that is paid hours, no one will sign up for it. THREE WEEKS+ of class. 4 or 5 days at Frontsight, Gunsite, etc, will be enough to deal with it. Maybe they are thinking 3 GUN. A week for each type makes some sense, but I doubt that is what they have in mind. I think it is intended to chase off those interested.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-32137279401000563082019-01-25T22:01:07.830-05:002019-01-25T22:01:07.830-05:00It was obvious this was going to happen.

The whole poop-cyclone was initiated by gun-grabbing, leftist morons and holier-than-thou's who don't give a rat's buttocks over anyone's safety.<br /><br />There should not have been any legislation passed until the final report on the shooting came out, and then target the STATE'S and COUNTY'S FAILURES, if any action is going to be taken at all.<br /><br />What should have been pushed forward, OPEN CONSTITUTIONAL CARRY, was most likely killed forever due to the blueing of the state.<br /><br />Dang it. This is not how responsible government is created. Feelings don't matter more than facts. This is not the government that was promised to me in Civics class.<br />Beanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293778848879361153noreply@blogger.com
