What civil liability? If the states change their laws to allow anyone with a carry permit to carry on school grounds, there is no "civil liability" for a municipality or a school for failing to prohibit people from engaging in lawful activity.
"Use of force event"? What are you talking about? We're discussing securing schools against armed incursions. We aren't talking about making parents and/or community volunteers into school corridor monitors. Behavior of the students while in school has always been the purview of the teachers and administration and would continue to be. The armed volunteers would only be there to repel boarders.
Rules of engagement would be dirt simple" Leave the students alone. If someone shows up at the door and starts shooting ... shoot back.

Yes, he does offer good insights. If you have read his book, why are you opposed to anything that might succeed in adding a layer or two of security? "Layering" is one of his key strategems.
