WASHINGTON – Maryland state lawmakers are considering a controversial bill that would place armed officers in schools statewide.
The proposal comes from Republican Delegate John Cluster Jr., a retired police officer from Baltimore County.
“Although security enhancements may help, the bottom line is, not having somebody on the scene is really the problem,” Cluster said Wednesday in front of the state’s House Ways and Means Committee.
Cluster, a Republican, told committee members, that it’s not a matter of when there is a school shooting in Maryland, it’s a matter of when.

Great idea, police always have someone on light duty give it to them.
They should hire RETIRED Police Officers.
They can make a very decent salary, yet NO BENEFITS, health care and retirement.
I'm sure those retired Officers would love the work AND municipalities would NOT have to pay Officers overtime.
save money train certain teachers to be the Emergency response with a gun....
I thought we had one of the toughest gun bans in the country.
The principle or 2 teachers should voluntarily do it with training.
Ps we cant wait for another columbine to all those idiot libs.
Joe I like your idea of hiring retired police officers and if school boards learned to conserve a little bit it really wouldn't cost anything.
Concealed carry for all citizens is the answer. That will put trained, armed teachers in every classroom for free.
'nuff said.
And pay them even more huh?
