Are we also arming ushers at theaters? What about concession workers at concerts? Waiters at night clubs? Arm all priests? Bus boys at restaurants? Drive thru cashiers as McDonalds?

It's ridiculous that the defense of arming teachers is mentioning how it's good to have a gun in a war zone, but ridiculous proposals tend to have ridiculous defenses. 

It came to mind as we’ve had shooting started in theaters and other public venues. Around last year we had an altercation in a theater where an off duty’s cop pulled his gun over a disagreement about talking. Granted the guy threatened to shut the off duty cop up after the cop told him to shut up, but there was no reason for the cop to pull out a firearm in a theater against an unarmed civilian in a verbal disputed.
