More than five years before a 19-year-old former student killed 17 at the Florida school, Pastor Larry Allen, a a superintendent in Albuquerque, New Mexico, took a radical approach to preparing his school for potential gun violence.
In a Season One episode of VICE on HBO, correspondent Thomas Morton visited Allen’s school, the New Life Baptist Academy, to talk to the pastor, a former cop, and his wife about the training they require students undergo.
In addition to active shooter training for every student from kindergarten through 12th grade, a group of select upperclassmen also receive tactical training, designed to help them stop a gunman. They’re called the Pastor’s Warriors.
New Life Baptist Academy’s 20 teachers also have at least five loaded handguns divvied up between them.

More power to the pastor.
Interesting how the establishment, the Powers that be, don’t want this.
Only when kids get killed, all they do is wring their hands and ask out aloud, why couldn’t it have been stopped.
That and lamely say that ‘lessons will be learned’.
Problem is, those lessons have a blood tally.
