Butler County Update: 250 Teachers Sign Up for 50 Seats at Concealed Carry Tng Session

[Breitbart] Butler County, Ohio, Sheriff Richard K. Jones offered free concealed carry training for 50 teachers and 250 teachers responded within 24 hours.

Breitbart News reported that Jones began advertising the free training on Sunday and the immediate response was 50 emails within 20 minutes:

On February 20 Fox 91 reported the response had jumped to 250 teachers who wanted training. Jones reveled in the opportunity to instruct them, saying, "We have 250 and growing fast. We will start training fast, next week."

He stressed that he wants teachers to understand what they can do with a gun if an armed attacker enters the classroom. And while he cannot delegate the authority for teachers to carry on a given campus‐that is a school board decision‐Jones said he wants the teachers to be ready if their school board so chooses.

He said, "If the school boards want to give the authority to teachers to be armed...[they] can do that, they have the authority to do it, but I’m going to do my part, and I assume I’m probably the only one in the state of Ohio that’s doing that ‐ but something has to happen."

#1 At some point one of these volunteer defenders will shoot back and accidentally hit an innocent bystander. How are they, the school district, and the county to be protected from the inevitable lawsuits that will follow?

Seriously. I had to listen to Mr. Wife go on about that this morning.

#2 Any different than a cop shooting and accidentally hitting a bystander? When seconds count the uniformed officers are minutes away. It's a trade off. And, nothing is going to stop the ambulance chasers regardless of who pulls the trigger.
