Firestorm® Releases New Insight Paper Discussing Ongoing National Debate-Arming School Employees

ROSWELL, Ga. - July 20, 2014 - PRLog -- CEO and co-founder of Firestorm (http://www.firestorm.com)®, Harry Rhulen, recently discussed the ongoing National debate regarding arming school employees with firearms. Firestorm recognizes the importance of this discussion and presents Mr. Rhulen’s insights available via the Firestorm website (http://www.firestorm.com/Blog/arming-teachers-disarms-planning-armed-teachers-in-classroom-a-firestorm-insights-paper-with-harry-rhulen-ceo.html).

Many states are wrestling with the wisdom of allowing teachers and faculty to carry guns including Alabama, California, New Jersey and Oregon. In Ohio, more than 600 teachers had applied for training in the beginning of 2013.

Mr. Rhulen sheds light on the topic; are armed teachers a reasonable school preparedness tactic? “It can only be done with a tremendous amount of discipline, training, planning and education,” says Mr. Rhulen. In this newest insight paper from Firestorm, he discusses what works for schools based on first-hand, on-the-ground experience with school violence.
