In the wake of school shootings in Wisconsin, Colorado and Pennsylvania during the last two weeks, a Wisconsin state legislator said he plans to introduce legislation that would allow teachers, principals, administrators and other school personnel to carry concealed weapons.
Rep. Frank Lasee, R-Bellevue, said Wednesday that, while his idea may not be politically correct, it has worked effectively in other countries.
"To make our schools safe for our students to learn, all options should be on the table," he said.
"Israel and Thailand have well-trained teachers carrying weapons and keeping their children safe from harm. It can work in Wisconsin."
Lasee stressed that the measure would hinge on school staff members getting strict training on the use of the weapons.

If education were presented in a free market--with schools still being allowed to turn away the problem kids--parents might teach their kids to behave. Where WOULD a kid go if no school would take him/her? As it is, public schools HAVE to take 'em.
Only CCW permitted adults would be allowed to carry.
This would only be principals, teachers, and staff...no kids.
A very small percentage of teachers would carry. The background checks and training should be strict.
This is not the only solution; just one step to make the perps worry.
