‘Armed Teacher Training Program’ Launches In 15 States

30. Good point

The teachers can take all the gun courses they want, it's still up to some authority whether guns will be allowed in the Classroom. I heard in Texas it's allowed. Go figure.

My state wasn't mentioned but if it was and teachers were allowed to have guns, my kids would be outta there. Our high schools each have a School Resource Officer which are local city or county police officers assigned to each high school. I consider that OK but arming teachers and other administrators is whacko. The idiots suggesting this idea are paranoid gun maniacs just using the CT incident as an excuse for their obsessive compulsive disorder over guns. It's to the point where their obsession is carrying over to the general public. I don't want your guns near me!

A civil society that thinks it needs everyone armed obviously isn't civil, it's paranoid. I know there are lots of gun owners on DU but this is insane. When you glorify gun ownership to the point where you insist on arming the public you have gone out of your minds. You need mental help for your insecurity and paranoia. Each person carrying a gun in public puts me and my family's safety at risk. No different then second hand smoke.

They start doing this then parents should complain and pull their kids out of school. I would go so far as to break the law and keep my kids home from school then to allow them in a class with a teacher with a gun. That won't happen where I am but this whole idea is insane.
