There is absolutely no logic to arming teachers, or airline pilots, or 7-11 clerks. Being trained in the proper use of a gun is not the same as being trained in the proper methods of protection. It only takes one criminal with a knife to hold someone hostage to demand the gun in the teachers desk to put a gun in the hands of a criminal.
If any person holding one of those jobs feels their life is in danger, they only need to find a new job. Conservatives should know this - I've heard it oft repeated when an employee doesn't like some aspect of their work environment (see the smoking ban thread).
