If the teacher is properly trained and can excecute use of said firearm . . . that would be similar to the idea of having an 'air marshal' on board a plane.

Perhaps teachers should be taught how to 'neutralize' a target? I see how it could lead to the protection of both the teacher carrying the firearm and the students they protect. A teacher who is trained and practiced in firearm safety and use could be benificial to protecting the innocent lives, in addition the idea and knowledge that there are armed teachers might change the fact that these young shooters find their schools an easy mark . . .

Currently, how are these teachers supposed to protect themselves? When the students they teach carry knives, firearms etc. Should teachers not be given the right to protect themselves? I think they should.

however, if they are going to go this far . . . Why not just put a police officer in every classroom??

I am pro-firearm, i believe ppl should be allowed to protect their lives . . . but arming teachers and having guns in classrooms won't stop these shootings, guns in classrooms won't bring peace to our schools . . . the change has to come from society itself so we stop creating these monster children who are so full of hate and rage that they need to manifest those feelings in violence.

Thanks,
