Teachers with guns.. about time?!
- Thread starter Bk718
- Start date
Seems to me that if teachers (and especially if students, like the article mentioned some want) carried legal guns... the possibility for increased violence during one of these "shootout" situations could escalate and end up with even more death and destruction. And if one of these teachers did shoot and kill some kid with his dad's gun going on a rampage, what then? Is the teacher going to go down for murder?
I don't know about teachers with guns. Our middle and high schools have cops who have guns at the schools in case of something like that.
Every school I went to back in the day had a teacher that flipped on a student and either punched them or choked them out. I'd hate to see what would have happened if that teacher was carrying instead.

I'm not a fan of the idea either...
cops are trained and authorized to use their weapons, and yet they get scrutinized and often persecuted when they are forced to use them.
imagine what society would think if the person was a teacher.

teachers are public servants, they wouldnt be charged with murder, but i would be concerned with their shooting abilities. i'm military, its not difficult to shoot a weapon, but some of these old fogies who still teach because their tenure cant get them fired is troublesome. in k-12 anyway, kids can't carry a pistol leagaly because of being 21. those same kids need to graduate before they turn 21 also. rent-a-cops in school is not protection. in colleges though im all for student with valid CWP to carry pistols. if you were going to shoot a up a school, what is more of a deterant: A: a student body with cellphones? B: or a student body with glocks, .45's, and kimbers?
Very good point. I'm not a cop but I'm sure they go through a lot of training when it comes to not losing your cool and only using a gun as a last resort. I say leave the gun use to the professional, especially when it involves children and teens.
