| No comment necessary. Chatfield School co-directors Matt Young and Bill Kraly announced last week that they had hired retired Lapeer County Sheriff’s Dept. firearms instructor Clark Arnold as a security guard in response to the December mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
...snip... But by Wednesday, the school had admitted to The Flint Journal that the retired firearms instructor had made a “made a breach in security protocol” and left his unloaded handgun unattended in the school restroom “for a few moments.
Okay, one comment is necessary. They hired a guy as an armed security guard, and the guy left his gun in the bathroom. No one was in any danger, since the weapon was unloaded. So, how exactly is he supposed to save the school from an armed maniac with an unloaded weapon? I realize he was probably carrying ammunition on his person, but the entire point of having an armed security guard in the school is so that he can respond instantaneously to a crisis. That's why cops always carry loaded weapons. |
