With the potential for terror attacks (as well as nutcase kids with weapons) I would like to see every school, mall, church, or temple with a handful (volunteers) of weapons qualified personnel. The guns should be quickly obtainable and not well publicized. (The terrorists or students should not know who might have the training.) I believe this has been the practice in Israel and would be a good policy here as well. In this respect laws making schools "gun free zones" should not apply to these members of the staff who volunteer to take additional traning and show a willingness to take the necessary risk to protect themselves and others.
I fully agree. But at my school there is just one possibility (besides JROTC) as to whom the teacher would be and that'd be yours truly. I would carry concealed in a Level IIIA retention holster. That's be my only hope and I'd have to have all GLASER or MagSafe loads. But otherwise, it'd be no problem.
