Yes, they should. Many college campuses allow teachers to carry as well as students, and there has not been one incident where a teacher became crazed and took a gun and started shooting. Also, not one mass shooting has taken place in a school that allowed concealed carry for the teachers. All the mass shootings took place in a gun-free zone. This proves that they don't work. A criminal is more deterred by a sign showing the staff armed than no guns allowed.

Duh if a psychopath with a gun enters a school intent on killing people the ONLY thing that will stop him is a bullet.

When has there been an incident where a psychopathic armed teacher shot up a school?

And how offen in the past has a teacher brought a gun to school and shot her students? You realize they could probably do that just as easily as any one els anyway right? And I suppose you are also aware that teachers must pass background checks wich in clued checking any and all diagnoses.

Side: yay

Sure. The reason why these nut jobs go into schools and show agression is because there is no one in the school to stop them. Well trained and armed teachers in the school will make these idiots think twice.

Side: yay

People should be allowed to carry gun anywhere, if they feel it is necessary for their safety.

As withe every major Question wedged between chapter 34 and its sister in the Annals Of Human History, THIS question demands that you consider the LOCATION before whipping out your judgement.

Should teachers be part teacher part gun wielding cocaine thug? I say consider the loacation of the bally school.

If it is in a Black american school yessiree teachers should be covered to the teeth with guns, body armour and hand grenades because the kids in those schools are barely human. Savages is what they are, and you'd come two paces short of a high voltage tranquilizer gun to whup their little black arses into shape.

If its a white school, a teacher armed with a plastic cane keeps the discipline doctor away :) White people are People. :)

Not all white supremacists are from the south that's a generalization and as a non-racist white southerner I take offense to that. neo-naziism is stronger in northern Idaho and the Midwest than it is in the south

It is their right to carry a gun in the US. They should be able to defend themselves.

Side: yay

Yes. Gun free zones only disarm law-abiding citizens. There is no concrete reason why someone who is able to legally own and carry a handgun would not be allowed to carry it at the school he or she works at.

Why give someone a gun when most of there day is spent in a room full of annoying kids?

Side: nay

Why? Because if an armed gunman breaks into the school, the teachers and staff could defend themselves and the students.

Now...Far be it for me to drag your personal background into this debate, but...

the naiveness of your argument makes me wonder wether YOU went to school in some lawless back alley in Bogota, where you'd regularly find cocaine stoned headmasters taking pot shots at students on passing whims, an event that necessitated bulletproof vests to be a mandatory part of the school uniform...

Are you genuinely attempting to imply that the contingency of a teacher using a firearm AGAINST HIS STUDENT is one that ought to be taken with even a minuscule amount of seriousness???

Come on mate, get real ;)

How did you know?

Side: nay

No you shouldn't have someone armed teaching a class, because at some points teaching can get frustrating and many teacher do not need a gun if they never used one before. I don't believe teachers should have guns, but I do think that every school should have police officers watching and standing guard. A officer at each main entrance.

Now dont YOU start joining the retard queue...cant you see how long it is already?

Let me quote that fragment of irrelevance you contrived to flash momentarily on this post, before it faded away into oblivion, unable to exist with the weight of its own stupidity.

" armed teachers should not be allowed to be in school"

Hmmmmm so you would have all the teachers within a ten mile radius de-armed would you? the clammy mists of evil sadisim would tighten on your throat as you drunkenly went about the million odd teachers in britain, swinging a chainsaw, with arms and legs and blood and peices of flesh being ripped off and going flying in every direction under the scream of the chainsaw as it bit into them?

You evil, queer person.

This doesn't seem like a very hard question to answer, it's an obvious no. It's unsafe to allow someone so close to students to wield such a dangerous thing in class. What if the a student got hold of the teacher's weapon?

Side: nay
Scout143(652) Disputed

That won't happen if a teacher is trained well and taught how to store their weapon while on school grounds. There are many different kinds of safes that allow only the owner to be able to access them, and they can be kept in a desk hidden from view. A student would not be able to access it.

Side: yay

Yes but what use is a gun in a desk well hidden when a gunman suddenly walks in and the teacher is not at their desk?

Mate, in my experience theres a lot of questions that dont seem hard to answer.

Until you think about the bally thnig a bit further than the gates, and it hits you of frick, the dashed thing isnt hard to answer; cest jolly well pas possible!!!

I could whip out 3 whole examples of such two cided deceptive liil tricksters at the drop of a hat;

1. why does 1 plus 1 make 3?

2. what is a boy?

3.are women people?

What if a kid manages to steal the teachers gun what then? Even if they put the gun under lock and key to prevent it's theft it would not be of much use if a gunman suddenly walked into the class

There are these wonderful little inventions called holsters that keep the gun close to the owner and often (by which I mean almost always) has a strap that secures the gun in place and prevents it from being stollen and lastly how dose a gunman sneek up on your class all the previous school shootings ( at least those we have heard of) started in the hallways in fact at columbine Eric and Dillion did almost all the shooting inside the crowded hallways the only room they entered and actually killed people in was the library and those kids and teacher weren't exactly caught off guard they were just defenseless. Man is your ass sore yet? I've been kicking it all day

Side: yay

A student can still take the gun from the holster and shoot the teacher point blank.

No They Should Not . If You Allow Teachers To Bring Such Things To An Environment Of Kids What Kind Of Example Would He/She Be Setting ? ... Furthermore Who Says The Weapon Will Only Be Used For What It Is Intended ? A Teacher Might Get Frustrated Themselves & Shoot At Kids Or Teachers . Then What Kind Of Case Would America Have On Their Hands ? By Giving Teachers The Consent To Carry A Weapon Is Basically One Being An Accessory To The Crime & Encouraging Unsafe Doings . Again I Say No .

Side: nay

Dangerous! A disturbed kid in the classroom could tackle the teacher and take that gun and commit a massacre.

Side: nay
