In a first, the state has purchased shoot houses designed for indoor gun training to help school staff ‘respond to active shooter’
Ohio appears to be the first state to purchase shoot houses – mobile homes designed for indoor firearms training – to better prepare public school staff “to respond to an active shooter”.
The Ohio Controlling Board, which helps oversee changes to the state budget, approved public safety officials’ request for $78,028 last month to purchase two shoot houses to help train public school employees that are allowed to carry firearms at work.
“Currently, we have movable canvas walls that can be configured to simulate responding to an active shooter in a school, like walking down a hallway, but there are limits,” said Jay Carey, a spokesperson for the Ohio department of public safety. “The more realistic we can make the training, the better prepared armed school staff will be to respond to an active shooter.”
You have teachers in school with guns it’s only gonna be a matter of time before you have new stats to play with.
Number of students killed or maimed by a teacher’s gun during a fight or other altercation. Number of teachers and students killed by a student who gets a teacher’s gun. Number of teachers who commit suicide using their service gun.
I’m not even using my hyperbole muscles, that’s just what’s gonna happen.
No you are bringing up a good point. This happened with the Sikhs. The boys carry a concealed dagger as part of their faith and issue brought up was even if you could trust that particular kid other kids know they have it and could take it from him. From what I understand most now wear a ceremonial blunt wood one.
They are glued or soldered into the sheath now.
I don’t know if that is always the case, but it is certainly true that the kirpan is not required to be sharp (I was just reading about it the other day). They may also just be strapped down to the scabbard rather than glued. I’ve seen people do that at places where costumes involving swords are worn like ren fairs.
