Kentucky school district that passed a resolution to train and arm school employees with firearms in the event of an active shooter has scrapped that plan and will instead have uniformed deputies patrolling schools. The Pike County Sheriff's office tells WSAZ that deputies will patrol the Pike County School District's five high schools when the school year begins. They will also be checking on the elementary and middle schools.

It won't work. Too little coverage.
One resource officer can't possibly cover a whole school and be exactly at the location necessary to immediately stop an active shooter, and that assumes that there are only five schools with one officer each.
It's frustrating that no matter what, emotion-driven, knee-jerk decision-making rules the roost when it comes to peaceable non-government actors with legal guns.
The true solution is unavoidable, yet they continue to avoid it. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
