I would tell your SRO to have this discussion with the school Principle, because you are currently bound by law to be unarmed in school buildings. Sprinting to your car to get your weapon is not an option (If you had time to do that, there would be time for the LEOs to arrive). If the SRO would like CHL holders in the school to be armed, and would like them to have specific rolls during an emergency situation, then he is the one who should start discussions with the school leadership.Tim the Teacher wrote:I have a good relationship with our SRO. During a discussion involving the actions our school takes to secure our building if we needed to lockdown, he indicated that if there was a real shooter in the building and shots had already been fired, he would expect me to help him. First off, there is no darn way I am going to run out to my car and get my weapon even if I don't have a class of kids to secure. Second, I am not sure that it would be a defense to the prosecution that I broke the law and brought my firearm in to the building. Third, I am pretty sure that I would not have a job if I did this. Your thoughts....
