Too bad the “quote” above left out that WLP was talking about gun in schools by students, gang bangers, etc. Lies, the domain of the communist democrats and the anti-gun crowd. It is a sad thing that Ammoland has such a bias against the NRA that truth is sacrificed in its continuous attacks. [More]No, he was talking about everyone, "with the rare exception of law enforcement officers or trained security personnel."
And years later, when then-NRA 1st VP Sandra Froman started making noises about arming some teachers, she soon after had to issue a denial.
In 2012, Wayne LaPierre called for "armed police officers" in schools.
And funny thing-- when Asa Hutchison released a commissioned report acknowledging “Teachers should teach, but if there is personnel that has interest and is willing to go through 40 to 60 hours of [firearms] training, then schools should be willing to [arm them],” NRA's response, instead of "Hells YES!" was that they had no influence on it and "needed time to digest" the findings.
Their"School Shield" program still refers to "armed professionals."
Candidly, I haven't researched how far along NRA may have come since then and know that state affiliates like Buckeye Firearms Association are all over arming and training teachers, but this appears to be another case of our "leaders" in Fairfax being late and reluctant to the party. What I can state with certainty is they haven't called for the elimination of "gun-free zones" for "We the People," or alternatively, explained why we can be trusted on one side of a property line but all of a sudden become presumed threats on the other, so I'm assuming "Enforce existing gun laws" still applies.

Good for you for providing complete context.
And I remember the weasel words of L-Pierre.
