Armed or not

[jmurray01]

I think having armed teachers would only make things worse because what if the teacher had a breakdown and started shooting the pupils his/herself?

Teachers are no more or less stable and law abiding as everyone else. Armed security will create problems attracting folks that have a thing for children and young women. The first one that goes beserk in the school over a love triangle will wipe out all the good that has been created by the policy.

I don't think arm the teachers. But there should be a fire arm in the principals or front office. Only a few allowed access with a hand scan lock. After extensive background checks and firearm training including regular trips to the range to stay fresh.

One don't need guns to mass kill kids.
A bit of fireworks will do the trick too!!

Well it appears that there are a good of number states that are trying to pass legislation to make it mandatory for teachers to attend and pass firearm classes to be licensed to carry weapons.

Pro-gun lawmakers in Florida, Minnesota, Oregon, South Dakota and Tennessee have also vowed to propose legislation in the coming months that would allow for armed teachers in schools.

You're really reaching there. Have another drink of kool-aid.

If the teacher "had a breakdown" as you say, they could bring a gun anyhow, as it seems loonies don't care about gunfree zones...Correction...The loonies head straight for the "gunfree zones," because it's an "unarmed victim zone."

If the freekin teacher has a breakdown, he or she could be taken out by an armed non victim.

Speaking of armed teachers trying to protect students from armed looney intruders, I remember my grandfather talking about another reason some rural teachers went armed when he was a child. There were bullies and dummies who never graduated at their grade level and you'd wind up with Jethro Bodine types in the 7th grade. Often bigger, stronger and meaner than the teacher. One teacher in Union County, TN back around the early 1900's intended to keep order in class and teach. Several teachers had been beaten and driven off but this one was not. He laid his .38 revolver on the desk and said he meant to keep order in class and teach. Any student not wanting to do either could leave! I believe he was the last one they ran off.
