After the Newtown school shooting, the Buckeye Firearms Association joined with the Tactical Defense Institute and supplied active shooter training to any school employee who applied. This was done free of charge to the applicant. They had 1,000 applicants for the first 20 training spots. I don't know how many were trained, but I bet it was a bunch.
I took a weekend shotgun course at TDI a few years ago. That readers, is a first class operation.
After the training got a good foothold, the state attorney general announced that trained employees could carry in schools if approved by the local school boards. So the state law was changed based on the reality of our times.
I haven't heard of any issue with school employees carrying concealed weapons in the state. And I have not heard of any school shootings either. I do wish all schools would follow this example. I'd feel a lot better about my grandchildren being in school.
