Armed school guard leaves gun in bathroom. (unemployment, interview, weapon)

A student bathroom no less. I don't know about you but I feel safer already.

Lol at the pic of Barney Fife in the comments...first thing I thought of reading it.

Probably in a rush to abandon the stall he just destroyed and left it on the hook

Gun wasn't loaded so no big deal...unless of course an armed intruder showed up that day

The question I have is who was the idiot who hired this guy? What? Did they go down to the unemployment office and just ask for someone that owned their own gun?? What part of Qualified didn't they understand when they interviewed him?

Retired sheriffs deputy and firearms instructor, so I don't fault the hire.

Still, that's a mental lapse that might put him back in the rocking chair.

Think maybe retired is the operative phrase here??

NRA response: "Well if there were extra armed guards near the bathrooms they would have taken care of the misplaced gun."

What an idiot. I still think they belong in schools.

Police drop tasers, guns and even have their cars stolen daily. Should we remove them from the streets?

EDIT: To be clear; I believe safety is an illusion and the same people calling for armed guards are the same people who cry when the TSA molests children. There is no such thing as safety or "safer" there is only "I feel". The same attitude applies to guns. Gun grabbers feel safer when gun control is around when the fact is, only criminals have them.

Adding more guns to the system is not the answer. People who do not know how to secure their weapon from others are the biggest problem.

Well looking at most of our public educators should we be surprised at the level of armed security they hire?

an armed guard won't stop anything. if someone wanted to shoot up the school, the school's armed guard would obviously be their first target. and he wouldn't be hard to eliminate. all the shooter has to do is walk up behind the guard and shoot him in the head. after that there's nothing to stop anyone from shooting up the rest of the school.
