[Leaning Right]

I don’t think anyone is arguing that we should have teachers carrying guns like cowboys did in those old westerns. That’s just a goofy idea.

But properly vetted teachers and school administrators should have quick access to guns, should the need arise. Hidden safes in a few rooms should do the trick.

The author (who is evidently some kind of super-trooper) is wrong when she says we should continue to rely on the police. When seconds count, even well-trained and motivated police are minutes away.

At my kid's school sixty percent of the teachers are armed at all times.

I can not be with them at all times so I make sure the adults I entrust them to can defend them.

It is just common sense.
