I did a fairly extensive interview about this with Jake Miller of Fox59 this afternoon out at Eagle Creek. It should air during the Fox59 News tonight - although I'm not sure when. (Jake filmed some teasers for it that will be on earlier and should indicate when it will be shown.)

Any nibbles yet, Guy?
I've received quite a few messages saying "I'll do it if my school system lets me." Obviously, that'll be the critical issue.

Would liability exposure be too great to the school systems for this to work? They do not have the level of protection from civil suits as duly sworn police officers would have.

Do the school systems have liability if some nut job comes in and kills kids? Is the school system taking every measure possible to protect the children they are responsible for while at school?
Who said anything about the school training the person?That is where the problem lies. If the school system trains, arms and deploys a employee in the role of armed guard, there is an expectation of the role of protector to be successfully executed in a crisis. But, if someone dies due to a accidental shooting or the guard not successfully acting to a armed threat then I would think this is where the civil liability lies for the school system.
On the other hand there is a reasonable expectation of safely attending school without being shot but if it does, no implied extra level of protection, less civil liability.
The police on the other hand enjoy some immunity to civil liability in the event things go badly.
The Sandy Hook school did everything right to protect the kids, I see no fault or liability there. I am not an attorney, this is only my layman's spin on the equation.
