We have had our third in-school accidental discharge by an armed teacher

If your point is that school teachers are not responsible enough to
have guns, I will let you win that one.

They're at least as "responsible" as former FBI agents and cops.
After all, far more innocents are shot and killed by FBI agents and cops
than school teachers.

I am not here to defend trigger happy FB I agents but 2 of the 3
incidents you cited were teachers.

Whoosh.

I guess that is Harry Speak for "I can't argue with what you said"

Your posit was specious...no need to waste time "arguing."

The whole thread is specious, what's your point?

You still ducked the issue that 2 or the 3 people who you cited were
teachers and one was a trigger happy FBI agent. Maybe he was at Ruby
Ridge, Waco or Orlando

The point is that having a teacher or even a former cop or FBI agent in
a school to protect the kids and teachers is fraught with stupidity and
danger in addition to that posed by a crazed shooter. The fact that two
of the three incidents were related to teachers is not the issue...the
issue is that these so-called solutions are simple-minded. Schools have
many entrances and windows, and even if these are locked, a determined
shooter would have no problem getting inside. And since most of them
don't care whether they live or die, they could shoot up several
classrooms before someone with a gun showed up to defend the kids. And
it is likely the "protector" would be shot, too.
