It is my opinion that if a teacher is not willing to carry a concealed weapon...let him beat the sidewalk for a job. Replace them with Men and Women willing to take control in a critical situation. The educational atmosphere would return when these evil punks learn they cannot invade our classrooms and create such carnage.

While I'm a strong carry advocate, your suggestion is not very well thought out. Are all school teachers supposed to be cops? That's not their job. Furthermore, just owning a weapon does not mean you're even capable or qualified to use it. Even at the range, I see people with all sorts of guns do some really stupid things.

Tell me what you think of this

One senior has a gun on each floor

I know it is a pipe dream, but it might have made a big difference.

“Furthermore, just owning a weapon does not mean you’re even capable or qualified to use it.”

Even someone who doesn’t “know how to use it” is better prepared than the unarmed...

One further thought... I have a permit to carry, but I have never fired a weapon at another person, except for the five and eight inch guns on my ship 43 years ago. Of course then you didn’t actually SEE the target.

Would I be effective in a situation like this? I don’t know, but I’ed like to have the option.
