It is good to finally see this being proposed. I have a gut feeling however that if it did pass it would end up like the armed pilot program.

I don't think so--if schools need that kind of protection then they need trained, armed security people in the school who know how to handle a weapon and a confrontational situation--to arm teachers--this is not a good answer. They have enough to handle without target practice too.

Wait a minute, I heard from Rosie O'Donnell that guns were the problem.

I was on another site and made the same suggestion yesterday. One lib thought it was a horrible idea (surprise!).
I think this is well worth investigating. Wasn't there a school shooting a couple years back and someone went to his car, got his gun, and the shooter surrendered rather than being shot himself?

If the Fed's did their job our minutemen would not have to be on the border and we could them in our schools.
Parents should protect their children - if we had more parents in the schools on a daily basis, maybe our children would learn something.

I believe it was at a law school in Georgia. In fact I think it was a student who captured the gunman.

FReepers constantly complain about teachers being liberal hacks that can't teach their kids basic skills...yet now we want these same teachers to pack heat?
As an aside, my wife is a teacher and after meeting many of her peers, I would not feel comfortable at all with them carrying weapons. Many are panzies. Moreover, the schools around here all have a police officer assigned to them.

If a few principals, etc. were trained and armed then any perp would have to worry about the victims returning his fire.

All of this is so lame. If parents did their jobs as parents, this would be a non-issue. Rewind 50 years people.

So a teacher or administrator who has had the background check and/or training to legally be issued a CCW license should not be allowed to carry on school property?

Yes, it was the local assistant principal who was a hunter, belonged to the NRA...
and he stopped the killing by the perp .
The liberals were upset.

CNN has one on their front page (Quick Poll), that is being DUmmied as well.

The principals, teachers, etc. would have to go thru training and background checks.
They would work with the local police to help provide cover for the police, too.
The perps would not know who was armed, so they would have to believe that everyone was armed...and go elsewhere.

If all of my teachers carried guns when I was in school, I might not have lived to talk about it.

It would certianly solve the problem with outsiders coming into the school to do violence however I'd be afraid of the urge by many of us teachers to turn it on some of our students.
