dc.description.abstractAmericans lose their life to mass killings in schools and public places annually, and the numbers continue to increase. 2017 was the most drastic year of mass killings since records indicate (over 20 years). My capstone focuses on the increase of mass killings and how the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Reform Act – 22 (LEOSRA-22) can help to decrease the number of family members lost in mass killings annually. The effectiveness and ineffectiveness of the current LEOSA that was passed in 2004 and the reforms passed since then fold into how LEOSRA-22 will be a public safety element. The facts are compiled to propose the reform of the current LEOSA to LEOSRA-22 by allowing qualified officer to carry their identified concealed weapon on school property and public places. The lengthy time it takes an on-duty LEO to respond to an active shooter often is too late, and many have died/injured. By implementing this reform and allowing more qualified Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs) to respond when and if in an area of an active shooter, they could potentially stop the threat. This proposal begins with an action forcing event, history of gun reforms, gun controls, and court cases, followed by the proposal, policy analysis, political analysis, and ends with my recommendation.en_US
