Perhaps I didn't make my case clear enough, it was early and I wasn't quite awake yet. I don't believe there is any state laws preventing teachers from carrying their weapons here in the State of Indiana just as there is no law preventing me from carrying my weapon in my van while at work, none that I'm aware of anyway. By passing a law it in effect gives the teachers a security "blanket" if you will to protect them from liability in the unfortunate case something stupid should happen. By leaving the current law in place, as is advocated by the NRA in almost every other circumstance, the teacher can carry their concealed weapon to work even if it is against the policies of the school system they currently work in. Much like I carry my weapon with me on late night service calls in neighborhoods of ill repute, better to be jobless and judged by 12 than carried by 6. In the case of the teachers I believe just the threat of losing their jobs if something stupid happens will cause them to be much more careful and watch what they are doing much more closely. If they would happen to truly do something heroic and save a bunch of lives then I seriously doubt they would lose their job but be reprimanded. I doubt public opinion would allow them to lose their job if they truly done something considered heroic. However, if something were to happen and they accidentally shot innocent children while attempting to save others then they should be judged by 12 just as you or I. This is one situation where collateral damage is unacceptable!
