You don't "arm the teachers", you simply remove the 'no guns" signs and allow them to excersise their second amendment right. It ain't that damn hard. Bingo. As usual, the question is being posed in such a way as to make it seem controversial. What should be controversial is the idea that teachers surrender their right to life-preservation while at work. Exactly!

This is a slippery slope..... How so? I just don't see the downside of a well developed program that would allow teachers to carry with the proper training. I am open minded though, so I can be convinced it's a bad idea. Well devolved is not there yet. Heck, I would go in trying to eliminate the threat but chances are I would be elimated because the Popo would not know I was a friendly....... just some guy with a gun.

I don't fault the "armed security guard" for hiding at the Florida school shooting.
Take into account if the "guard" went gunning for the perp, do you think that the incompentant police would
have mistakin him as the gun man/woman perp?
😉And shot his ass bacause he had a gun
elimating the threat?
Playing "hero" is not a friendly job.
Uhh....I'm hearing he was an on-duty sheriffs deputy....and he wasn't alone...3 other deputies also took up "defensive" positions instead of going proactive....and I seriously doubt that anybody would have mistaken somebody running TOWARDS the sound of gunshots as the perpetrator... I'm just trying to see it from the other side. If he was a plain clothes guard, chances are he would have been killed by the cops. More training is needed to make that work. You don't just give a guy a gun and say protect us.🙄 It isn't hollywoood.

He wasn't a "guard", he was a sworn Deputy Sheriff. He took taxpayer money to do a job, and failed to to that job. As a tax payer I'm fully entitled to judge his performance. I judge him a coward and a failure as a man who need to repay every dollar of taxpayer money he' ever accepted.
