[Vision2020] Huh?

[Gary Crabtree]

Training to become a cop in Idaho is 10 weeks making time not much of an
issue. There are quite a few things covered in POST that a school guard
would not need training in (pursuit driving, crime scene investigation,
etc. ) further reducing the time needed to get qualified people in place.
Utilizing vets who were MP's or members of security detachments along with
retired police officers would be prime candidates for positions such as
this.

All entry doors in a facility could be easily modified to emergency exit
only except for one. This would make it so all visitors would be funneled
through one door and past one armed guard.

I really don't see what make this idea so unworkable other then the fact
that it doesn't jibe very well with the anti-gun agenda.
