Teachers and guns
I am not surprised at the stance of the teachers' unions when it comes to arming teachers. It's an
anti-Trump stance, and I'd expect nothing more. I am surprised at the number of teachers being quoted who use 'too many responsibilities already' as a reason for not arming teachers. It's true that teachers have a load of responsibilities. But, when the shooting starts only one takes precedence - protecting kids. I don't think any unwilling teacher would be asked to carry a gun. And, the simple act of carrying a gun does not add significantly to the other duties of a teacher. |

It's certainly not mandatory. Not as well reported is that hundreds of teachers have responded to a gun course instructor in Ohio who offered his course free to teachers. He initially planned on about 50 respondents but last I heard now has over 300 who want to attend. Even NPR and CNN have quietly reported that many teachers are in favor of being trained and armed. |

Teachers and guns
How long will it be before the first teacher accidently shoots a student.
It will happen considering how gun crazy people are south of the border. |

You don't think teachers are responsible or smart enough to safely carry firearms. I would suggest to you that your fat buddy in Maryland is at a higher risk to have a gun accident than a smart, level headed properly trained teacher. -- x ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |

Which would you prefer, the accidental shooting of one student or the purposeful shooting of 17 students? Are the teachers in Canada so immature that you'd call them 'gun crazy' if they carried a firearm? |

You have (or had) a concealed carry permit. I have a concealed carry permit. Many people have a concealed carry permit. What's the purpose of a concealed carry permit? Last resort self-defense for yourself and/or others. Correct? What's so different about a teacher who wants a concealed carry permit (or already has one) ? The difference is the teacher unions. Special authorization would be required to be armed on public school property. |

And the teachers' unions are against it because the idea doesn't support the anti-Trump, anti-Conservative liberal agenda. |
