I think one needs to be careful about arming people to do their job--this kind of thinking leads to many people need ing to potentially carry a weapon. I am thinking of healthcare workers in the ER, gas stations etc- it is just a thought that caution regarding protection for innocent children should solely rely on the aim of a teacher. I am not saying they can't have a weapon-but we must be careful about who is doing this.
I certainly would not expect a teacher to turn into Rambo, however, I think that if a teacher happened to have legally obtained their CCW then I see no reason why they shouldn't be able to carry during work hours. I would consider it an upgrade so when a school goes on lockdown it's not as easy for the psychos to start killing people.
What makes you think that healthcare workers in the ER, gas stations attendants, meter readers, auto mechanics etc., are not armed now?
Many of them are, which actually increases YOUR safety, particularly if some creep tries something while you are in the armed citizens presence.
