Should the gym coach be packin' heat?

Question

There is a school district here in Texas who authorized their teachers to carry guns. On one hand, if there is another Columbine, it will last only as long as it takes for someone to shoot back....maybe a minute at the most. Many lives would be saved.

However, I remember some teachers who would get so furious at class that I think would have opened fire if he had a gun.

All in all, I think I am in favor of it, but what are your opinions?

Answer 1

I have not found the "gun free zone" signs to have prevented ANY shootings.

Criminal nutcases prefer easy prey.

Answer 2

I have no problems with teachers carrying guns as long as they pass a criminal back ground check and are not on any medications for depression, bipolar and that sort of thing. They should also have to take the course and be required to carry a license to have a concealed fire arm.

Answer 3

My opinion is that the first time an armed teacher stops another massacre, nationally, it will not receive 2 % of the coverage that another student on student shooting would.

The very idea of people taking the initiative to protect and defend themselves and their loved ones is distasteful to our liberal media.

Answer 4

I am an old fan of Robert Heinlein. I think every adult who is registered to vote should qualify annually and openly carry at all times. I spent 9 years in uniform 6 as a US Coast Guardsman. I was a boarding officer and law enforcement officer for most of that time. I and every vet should be carrying deputy US Marshals papers and authority.
