I am a gunsmith who carries, well older than you. Do you realize standing around with an AR OUTSIDE a school makes you a REALLY EASY TARGET?
The only moron is the guy standing there, basically wearing a SHOOT ME FIRST sign.

Considering that companies have discovered simply having employees say "hello" deters shoplifters, I'd say this guard would be a decent deterrent to a school shooter. But overall school shootings are such a non issue I wouldn't worry about it.

Which is why I see this as irrelevant theater. Especially because Nikolas Cruz was not deterred by an ARMED DEPUTY SHERIFF he knew to be on campus...Dude across the street? Blah whatever. See my point?

And do YOU realize how an ambush works? that if he goes for the "easy target" that either a gunfight breaks out, or God forbid the man dies, he's lost all the element of surprise, shots ring out, school locks down. He shot a man on a sidewalk in daylight. Police are on the way , schools locked down, and pedestrians are gone. Massacre averted, and anyone willing to trade their life for the good of many is not doing THEATER. If you are so old as you claim, you're getting fucking senile and it's time to go to the home.

Umm. The way it works is a retard standing across the street from a hs gets mowed down by a car, and he never makes hero. Are you 12?

You fix guns, so you're an obvious expert on situational awareness. He's defending against a mentally disturbed student, not against Seal Team 6. He's a great deterrence.

The armed deputy in florida ON CAMPUS, not across the street, did not deter cruz.

So the shooter goes to a different school. Still have not solved the school shooter problem. And a determined kid could easily kill him first. It's like when they had national guard guys standing around with unloaded m4s in airports. Was more theater than security.

Florida hs had a known armed deputy on campus.
