Your right but i have to admit we're not talking about high school (kids). These are adults who already carry off campus anyway. Has anyone brought up the idea of implementing an on campus training course for honing weapons skills and situational awareness. A semi-annual qualification course to test proficiency in order to sustain quals. A course similar to what the military uses (to train 18 year old recruits mind you) will be fine and doesn't need to be much more than a week long. There's also FATS simulation which is great for training shoot/don't shoot scenarios which is what they need the most. I'm not against them carrying guns but the schools are right about the things they're concerned about however, these issues and concerns can be kept to a minimum with good training and a proper campus qual/cert program.
