Also, the whole point of storing guns in schools seems to be that guns are available at any time in case of an active shooter. Meaning, available at a second's notice, including with ammunition.
To be clear, I am of course not in favor of this, seems more like providing the assets to the potential killer so he doesn't have to bring his own murder weapons and can act on a spontaneous impulse. But still. When you store guns for the good guys to stop a shooter and store the ammunition separately, it seems to serve no purpose at all.
If a bear breaks in then it will get about 35 rounds of 9mm pumped into it at close range. It won't be 75-150 yards away like when I get them in the woods.
The quick access firearm is the sidearm for the SRO. Additional seconds always count in something like this, but the very nature of having a firearm in a safe at a static location means that it would be for a more delayed reaction. I would actually contend that the SRO should just carry two magazines for the rifle on their belt during the day. Then you have them separate, it's controlled access, and it isn't an extra step. Grab the rifle, mag is already in hand.
