I had a principal at a school where I taught whose Do Not Disturb sign for her office door said: "I have PMS and a .357!" across the bottom of it.

I bet she would not have that sign there long today. Having a .357 in a school would get a visit from the local constabulary pretty quick.

Actually at the time that school had 3 cops from the Los Angeles Unified School District PD on campus full time. A Sgt., a Patrolman and a rookie just out of the academy for field training. As each rookie finished their field training they went off to a new assignment and a new rookie arrived. LAUSD PD was the third biggest PD in LA county after LAPD and the LA Sheriffs. And here lately it was on the news that the "Woke" school board majority pulled all officers assigned to campuses out. As the schools reopen there will be no more assigned officers on campuses. That very large high school also had 2 full time and 2 part time county Probation Officers with an office on campus. When I was still teaching every High School and every JrHS/Middle School/Intermediate School had at least one on campus officer and the elementary schools around them were also part of their responsibility with help from the roaming patrols and response cars.

Let's see - Defund the Police = crime spiking like crazy.
No more assigned PD on campus = ???

And there were that I know of at least two teachers/staff members at schools where I taught who were Reserve Officers in one PD or another and they had letters/and an agreement with LAUSD PD that they were "on duty" and armed (concealed) while teaching.

Armed teachers are a controversy all around the country right now. I really think it is a shame it has come to this need.
To bad we can't just shoot Canon and Nikon's.
