These are facilities for education not incarceration. Im all for the students and staff members safety but there are other avenues to insure such safety ie. metal detectors, x-ray machines (for book bags and coats) even NON-LEATHAL WEAPONS for the teachers ie. PepperMace, stun devices, even a SL-6 gas gun.
Surely the schools who entertain this idea will train the teachers who are to carry if only for the legality of it. If the schools have the funding to train these teachers "properly" then it has the money to hire a guard or law enforcement officer who is properly trained.
Can you all honestly say you put you 100% absolute faith in the hands of teachers and that they will be responsible and diligent while carrying firearms to protect your children? I cannot! Look at the news so many stories of teachers who have already harmed our children (sexually, psychologically, ect.), the trust for me is just not there.
You dropped me a negative rep and just posted one single word following my post? The favor will be returned buddy!
Many schools already have an LEO or armed guard working security. That guard can only be one place at a time. But Im sure if the teacher asks the school shooter very nicely he will give the guard time to get to the classroom before the kid starts shooting people.
Why are you on a gun owners board if you are anti 2a? I trust teachers to carry as much as I trust any other citizen. If a kid wants to shoot up a school, do you think hes gonna let a metal detector stop him? Somebody that determined, who basically knows he is going to die today, will walk right through that metal detector and start blasting. But Im sure the beeping from the metal detector will make him stop.
