I think *some* teachers should be armed. But trying to force weapons on some of the teachers I have had in the past would be disastrous. They would be too scared to protect themselves, or too oblivious to keep track of the weapon. I think teachers should be allowed to have mace, and some should be allowed to get certified to have concealed firearms. Armed teachers in israel pretty much make a columbine-like incident impossible.
