I had a teacher who had a conceal carry permit. He wasn't allowed to bring it to school obviously though. Just because they get CCPs doesn't mean they can carry on school grounds. Teachers do not want to lose their jobs.
What are they gonna use these guns for? You don't need much protection in a school and I don't think its safe to have guns in the same classroom as students
Matter of fact, I wouldn't even care if my tax dollars paid for their weapon. If education and protecting our students and teachers is what we all seek, what more could you want?
Do you honestly think that teachers are going to practice enough to be proficient with their wepons? My bet is no and there are a lot of kids that will get in the way of their terrible shooting. How about we fix some roads instead How did I know you were gonna bring up that One incident doesn't mean everyone.has to be up in arms. People get murdered everyday doesn't mean everyone should go around strapped especially in a school
I would rather get shot in the head than have my professors packing heat, plus...one guy fucks up and goes crazy and everyone gets butthurt snd defensive
I believe you're assuming a little too much. History has shown that when you confront these types of shooters, they retreat or kill themselves. To be effective all the shooter must think is that there is a threat to his well thought out plan. You make him react.
So by having a lot of guns in a place where people don't know how to use them is the answer? I also think you're thinking too rationally. People who do fucked up things like that don't care about what they're walking into. They already know they're gonna die so what do they care if they get shot as long as they take out a few people in the process.
Did you totally 100% fail to read where it says they were taking free classes on the CCP's? Its not just a background check and a stamp. You have to be able to shoot proficiently to get one.
My dads a principal. He is thinking about it. He would be the first responder anyway. I think they should, but at the same time i don't want all teachers to have one. In my small town they would get with them.
Don't get me wrong I see your point and I agree to an extent. I think that people are over reacting to what happened. Yes it was horrible but you don't need to go from 0 to 100 over night. I don't think its necessary to have teachers have guns. There are school resource officers in schools around here. It's a cop who has an office in school and walks around and makes sure shit is on the up and up. That's all you need, one trained officer is better then 20 teachers who took a class. First of all where are you gonna keep these guns? Having them in a locked drawer kinda defeats the purpose of having it ready in case of an emergency. Also you're giving people more wepons that they don't originally have. One dude with a pistol over takes two teachers and now he has three guns. I just feel there are better ways to react to this then arming teachers.
Seriously, do you not understand the principal of CONCEAL & CARRY? That doesn't mean locked in your desk where Timmy can't get to it. It means it stays on your person, hidden, not open for billy to look at, most c&c weapons are subcompacts; in a nut shell: easy to hide. If your state allows conceal and carry I bet you anything you talk to armed citizens everyday and don't know it. My dad packs heat at work all day, everyday. Only reason I know is because I do to.
