A local sheriff has asked state officials to press for legislation that would place guns in schools.
Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones sent letters Thursday to Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland and State Rep. Courtney Combs calling for mandatory armed personnel in all public and private Ohio schools.
Jones said his plan is intended to prevent a school shooting such as the one this week at Virginia Tech.
Jones suggested assigning law enforcement officers to each school or training select school officials to handle weapons and enforce laws, and commissioning those officials as Ohio Peace Officers.
Jones admitted his plan would likely be expensive and would not prevent school shootings, but he said armed personnel would limit the number of casualties in such an event.
"The safety of all Ohio students is paramount," Jones said. "These students are our children; they are our future. We must do anything we can to protect them as much as possible."

Israel knows security.
They were forced to acquaint themselves with security thanks to the 'Religion of Peace'....
If only we could unleash the demon.... There would be NO problems over there...

If Virginia had allowed for concealed carry on campuses perhaps a student could have stopped the shooting earleir.
