Hondo sends us a link from Fox News<\/a> which reports that more than 40 school districts in Ohio have given their permission for teachers and school administrators to be armed in their schools in order to protect students from criminals. In addition to thier licensing for concealed carry, the educators attended a special course designed specifically for them. The additional training includes medical training;<\/p>\n

Teachers who recently took part in the program were taught not only about gun safety and use, but were taught paramedic skills and how to react to active shooter situations, according to WKRC in Cincinnati. Teachers and administrators trained side-by-side with local cops and paramedics at the Tactical Defense Institute in West Union, located in Adams County.<\/p>\n

The training entailed practice scenarios in which the armed protector must find and subdue the threat as students flee a classroom. In addition to the combat training, those who attended the exercise were also given combat casualty training where they learned how to treat injuries at the scene with bandages and a tourniquet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Observing the training has changed some minds about their opposition to the practice according to WKRC<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Jeff Corder is a veteran deputy and firefighter. Now a school resource officer in a different county, Corder came into the training adamantly opposed to teachers carrying guns in his school. He said, \u201cI knew I had a gun in the building and I’m a uniformed officer in the building and I didn’t want to worry about who else had them. I’m leaving here today to talk with the superintendent and say we need to look at this.\u201d Corder says the intensive training changed his mind, \u201cIf they get through a program like this it’s a total win win.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As long as many anti-gunners are opposed to tightening background checks to weed out the types of people who feel the need to kill large numbers of people, this is a common sense reaction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
