The Guardian Program is needed in Schools

In the small south Texas town I live in we instituted the guardian program. It was completely voluntary and any of the teachers or staff could volunteer. Basically, they are given 600 dollars to purchase a CCW and an additional 1000 dollars for ammo, range time, and a conceal carry class conducted by a professional. They have to pass the conceal carry class and put in a certain amount of range time monthly and a refresher training annually. No one outside of the school nor the kids attending know who the volunteers are. We also have an on campus dedicated police officer at the elementary, middle school, junior high, and high school. I have no problem with my property taxes paying for these officers and these programs.

We also have put up multiple large signs at the four corners of all four schools that indicate faculty and staff are armed. We took down the gun free zone signs.
