I have two little boys in the Wake County school system (K & 2) and I would NOT want armed guards in my sons’ school and unarmed guards are a waste of money. Their school keeps their doors locked and they can buzz you in which is enough security to keep me happy. If they start to have armed guards and armed teachers in elementary schools then I will start home-schooling my kids. The solution to the gun problem is not more guns! Even soldiers on Army bases are not allowed to walk around with guns and they are fully trained in all aspects of gun handling and shooting.

i have a 5 year old in elementary school. i fear everyday when i drop him off that something is going to happen at his school. just because we live in nc doesnt mean that it wont happen to our schools. the school board really needs to get on the ball with this. i think that they should lock all doors and have a armed/unarmed security guard at every school!

I’d propose having a class and certification of parents for a rotational presence at the school.
Start with those having military and public service backgrounds. Volunteer basis should work — even if we can’t be there every day, the randomness would have the would-be shooter looking elsewhere.

Where are all the non-lethal weapons that were in the news 10 years ago? Audible, foam, stun, etc? Things to stop the perp, cold, without the need for the “guard” to be amred with something that scares children or could accidentally discharge, etc?

This is pathetic! I am a Marine who has heard almost all the excuses. The heck with those NRA clowns. This approach is NOT a solution or a deterrant for people waving guns in our schools or any community.

Get rid of semi, auto guns and multi clip rounds.

Hey NRA and your poster boy Charleton Heston (who was a bit gone in the head when he raised that rifle in the air 10 years ago and screamed from my dead hands), it’s not people that kill people, it’s guns that kill people, PERIOD. Do you think a person without a gun is dangerous compared to one with a gun, get a clue. Also, no so called hunter uses a auto weapon and multi clip weapon to hunt, unless you do not know what you are doing in the bush
