[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2111540, member: 1132"] Who is going to pay for all that added security? You? Ever heard of the Federal Flight Deck Officer Program? Do you know how it works? Interested individual commercial ATP pilots apply for the program, are vetted, pay for their training out of pocket, travel to the training location and take the training on their own time and their own dime, and when it's completed, they hand them a Federal Officer badge that gives them a strictly and narrowly defined authority, a jurisdiction (the cockpit of the aircraft) and a gun, ammo and safe storage items. If a commercial pilot can fly an airplane and provide their own armed security, I don't see why a teacher or administrator couldn't teach and do the same. Unless of course you don't think they're smart enough for it. Just my opinion of course! As for the current Oklahoma law and the "working group" at the capitol, the writing was on the wall when I saw who was on the committee. However, I have yet to see a single thing in the Oklahoma Statutes that would [U]prohibit[/U] a school district from having armed faculty. Our state law mimics the federal GFSZA almost to the letter. The same GFSZA that applies to the school district in Texas that has armed faculty. I say let the individual districts decide what works for them and what doesn't. We don't need an additional state law that "allows" it. [/QUOTE]
