Hopefully they're a better shot than the police... well, at least the LAPD.
Less than 5 hits in over 100 shots while trying to murder... execute... umm... well, I don't know what they were trying to actually do to Dorner. Unfortunately they had the wrong truck (and "truck" was about the only thing that this truck had to do with Dorner's truck).
Now imagine if that was inside a school. The "guards" would kill more kids than the gunman.
Isolated incident and armed guards have been in schools for years and have saved many many lives. Take a look at Sullivan county ny high school in 2010 or in Colorado a few weeks back.
