re: #363 Political Atheist

A curriculum. Classrooms. Graphics. Booklets. Instructors, properly certified and experienced. “Red” (meaning non firing but functional for training, and literally made in red plastic) mock guns. Fake plastic ammo. Insurance. Other than those essential things not much.

I meant the logistics on the schools end— having to clear it through legal, having to communicate what the class is to teachers, having to explain that yeah, it’s unlikely they’ll ever run into this situation but what the heck, why not, the logistics of determining which classroom is open, of dealing with the trainers, for a benefit that probably seems pretty remote to any school system where this has never happened or any school where they just say “Thanks, but we’ll just call the cops if there’s a gun, rather than picking it up and doing stuff with it.”

Again: If this is a likely scenario, training makes sense. If it’s not, then it doesn’t. As with most things.
