Lets not and say we did

Think back to all the teachers you had. How many of them would you want to have a gun on them or in their desk?

Nice descriptive thread title, smath

12/19/2012 12:44:55 PM

This just in... next year a teacher goes on a shooting rampage at a Texas school.

12/19/2012 12:45:53 PM

I thought this thread was about passing lanes on the right side of the road.

12/19/2012 12:46:10 PM

Teacher holds hot as fuck female students hostage and rapes the entire class.

12/19/2012 12:47:41 PM

How long before a teacher shoots a kid or a kid uses the gun to shoot people.

12/19/2012 12:48:18 PM

This just in... Armed Security Officer goes on rampage at local school

This just in... Off Duty Police Officer goes on rampage at local school

This just in... Pilot crashes his jet into local school

This just in... $18k / year school bus driver intentionally drives bus load of children off bridge

^the first three of your examples are people who are trained to use guns (or airplanes). think back to your teachers you had growing up. how many should have been strapped in the classroom?

[Edited on December 19, 2012 at 12:51 PM. Reason : some people's arguments on this are baffling]

12/19/2012 12:50:57 PM

This will NEVER happen places the majority of the country live, in cities and suburbs.

I do admit if be fine with it in rural places like that though.

12/19/2012 12:51:47 PM

Not a damn one, leave the gun toting to the SROs

Plus most of these teachers are easy to ambush and overpower

12/19/2012 12:56:14 PM

And then with the relationships that develop it'll be tough for a teacher to pull the trigger on her or his student if it needs to be done

Don't think its possible to have specific teachers that are also trained? A week of training per year for qualification? Extra bump in pay to have a lockbox in their room to use only after a lock-down code-red procedure?

12/19/2012 1:03:49 PM

you guys

did you even read the article?

Taking a little class once a year is not going to help you manage a conflict

Someone who spent their educational career being force fed the opposite...which is legalities and letting kids do what they want without discipline

That's a hell of a 180

Sure, that's possible, and maybe not a terrible idea. But again, I think back to all my teachers over the years, and there are very, very few that I would be comfortable with having a gun in class, even if they were trained.

12/19/2012 1:07:53 PM

why would it make you uncomfortable

just curious

Teachers already manage to do it just fine in a town in Texas.

We're not talking about arming every single teacher, but having a few thrown in there that have the proper training wouldn't hurt and may one day save a lot of lives. May even be a deterrent. But at least give these poor teachers the option. They are already hugely underpaid massively valuable parts of our society, why not allow them to defend the children they have devoted their lives to if necessary?

12/19/2012 1:10:33 PM

If teachers are going to fuck students they're gonna shoot them for trifling reasons

^i just don't feel teachers need guns, what's wrong with putting more SROs in schools and leaving it at that?

Might as well make the same generalizations about law enforcement officers too

I think that would be ideal but school districts are already having a hard enough time paying their bills. Giving teachers a 5% raise and include a week of training per year (lets be honest, that's probably more than an average police officer receives) would be a better way to spend the limited funds.

This would be strictly volunteer, as well as FBI / Psych evaluations every year. I know plenty of teachers that would step up, and they've never owned a gun before - but they'd do anything for their kids

12/19/2012 1:16:53 PM

i think the idea is that if you are a teacher and a CHL holder then you should be allowed to carry on school grounds if you wish, and I support this.

and if you had bothered to read the article, all of the teachers who carry (or will carry) are trained specially [b]and hold a concealed carry permit (with all of the training for that as well)
