On Tuesday, Pennsylvania’s Pittston Area School District revealed it had placed one shotgun and one AR-15 in each of its schools for use by a resource officer in the event of an attack.
The Times Leader reported that news of the acquisition and placement of the firearms “was released during Tuesday’s regular monthly meeting.”
Pittston board president Frank Serino stressed that the firearms were part of a larger effort to enable law enforcement to respond more quickly to active incidents.
He indicated that “having the new rifles on site and accessible to school officers trained to use them could assure a quicker response than even the few minutes it might take municipal officers to arrive with similar equipment.”
On August 15, 2022, Breitbart News noted that Florida’s Indian River County School District added AR-15s to their schools so that students returning to class in the fall will have school resource officers who can access rifles in the event of an attack.
WFLA observed that Indian River County Sheriff Eric Flowers said, “If they’re coming at us with an AR-15, we’re going to return with the same or greater firepower.”

Better then nothing, but the gun that you have to “go get” after you know you need it is almost useless.
