well, it would all have to depend. 1. is it secure where only the teacher can get to it? 2. has the teacher been checked (psych, crimes, etc.) 3. what kind of school is it? with things like Columbine and VT, it's obvious that a gun in the right hands can save many lives from a gun in the wrong hands, but we have to make sure it doesn't lead to something worse. 457 days ago
I beleave this is a great idea. Think of the VA Tech Shooting, I was their, i know that if the professor i was with had gun, i would have felt a whole lot safer and the room would have been calmer. However, i do beleave that every teacher carrying a gun must have a concealed weapons permit (obvious). Compare it to this, If a police man is to walk into a school he isn't required to disarm himself. In police training you take classes equivalent to those of a Concealed weapons permit. And just becouse the police man is employed by the state means nothing. In essence the teacher is equivalent to the police man. 454 days ago | Tagged As: The Right to Bear Arms
The gun is the problem, not the student. Consider this, if Cho could not receive a firearm, would he have been able to massacre as many has he did? Indeed, taking your argument to the extreme, why not arm each student too? I'm sure you'd have been much safer knowing that you could shoot back. Moreover, the police serve to regulate citizens, teachers are there to educate future citizens. These are two distinct roles. Teachers are not policemen.

I think that providing teachers with a mechanism to defend themselves is a good idea, as long as they are properly trained and the weapon is properly secured. Given the right precautions are taken, this could help prevent or mitigate a lot of the tragedies that have taken place on school campuses in the past several years. 456 days ago | Tagged As: The Right to Bear Arms
I don't really know whether do argue with you or agree with you, because I agree with half, and disagree with half. That Hitler teacher should not be given a gun. ESPECIALLY if he tries to impersonate the big "H" himself. However, there are much safer ways to protect teachers than giving them guns. If anything, giving them guns will lead to more problems than solving them. Because some teachers are irresponsible and fall asleep during class, or leave it in the class with some students, it can lead to very dangerous situations. Also, there is the "I'm so busy I forget my own clipboard" approach by P.E. teachers. Since they are always up and walking around, if they don't have their gun holisterred in it could very easily fall out and they wouldn't notice. And lastly, there is the "Oops! I forgot to put my safety on!" aspect that needs to be put into consideration. Most likely the majority of teachers at any given public school have not held a firearm before, and even if they are trained for the first time and given a gun, they may not be used to it and can forget to put on the safety and end up firing it by accident, causing fear and confusion throughout the entire school once that gunshot is heard. 455 days ago | Tagged As: I don't think so

I think it's one of the worst ideas of mankind! There are simply too many things that can go wrong with an idea like this and not only from the perspective of students. How about the disgruntled teacher? He/she can also fly off into the stratosphere and wreak all kinds of havoc. It's a dangerous situation no matter how well it can be regulated. 456 days ago | Tagged As: I don't think so
First of all, i think that anyone carrying a gun is a bad idea.

Te problem is what hahpens if a student somehow gets a hold of it. It is something that may never happen but if the studnes knew the teachers had guns someone would be stupid or mad enough to try to tae it and in the stuggle it could go off. Not to mention he traning that will not be cheap. Te 1st problem is the biegst though. 457 days ago | Tagged As: I don't think so
If teachers are allowed to carry guns, then smart-asses like me and a few of my friends will be shot like 10 times a day by EACH teacher! o.O And then there is also the other teachers who we cross paths with throughout the day who would probably shoot me too!
