Have you ever spoken to some of these teachers? And you want them to have a weapon in school? Half of them these days are the very nut bags we are worried about. They are teaching the agendas and the mind sets that are causing mass shootings.

I think I agree with the idea we should have people armed in schools. But I think they should be well trained specialists with skill sets that apply to such a detail.

In other words a well trained, individual who has been through a specialty developed program for just such a challenging protection detail. I would not even be ok with many veterans having that job unless they passed such a detail. What we are facing is needing a "body guard" for 100's of kids, each school being a unique "zone" with situational specifics that are unique to that school. The last thing we need is a Militarized zone, kids hate school already LOL

Maybe we could have such specialist double up and teach a course daily on common sense... win win.

Good point...Most teachers are nut cases.

I was on the local school board some years ago. When the sandy hook thing happened, I weighed in saying we needed to arm a couple of teachers. Just so happened the high school had an ex-Marine sergeant who was my son's reading teacher and an ex-Army grunt who was the math teacher for 5th grade. I suggested we just arm those two with pistols, then hide a pump shotgun in the school under lock and key where only those two could get to it. Then have the armed teachers qualify and remain current with the sheriff's department.
Takes a good guy with a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun...

Not with you on that one Matt - I don't want my students or myself to become fish in a barrel and should an attacker climb in the barrel, I want to be the Chief Piranah with the ability to separate his grey matter from his/her cranium......first line of defense is not SWAT.  Honestly, take away the gun free zone and have just one assailant catch a round to the chest at a school and the problem will disappear quickly.

I agree with Norm lots of teachers are nut cases. I’m not asking them to be swat or for that matter demanding they be armed. What I think needs to happen is allowing ones who want & are capable to to do so have a path. This would include a training program and ongoing mental evaluation including quarterly training at a min. Norm, I think you of all people can find common ground in this.
