I'm just looking at it as a soldier would feel safer with a gun in a war zone than a teacher would in his desk while teaching history. Meaning that knowing they have a gun and may have to use it but never know when is different for a soldier and a teacher.
Certainly SOME might want to be armed. I just haven't met one I know yet.
And, I agree, that we have to do more than just arm a few teachers. There has to be a broad change in multiple areas of society.
Right, being armed is something that wasn't in the job description when they signed up. Looking ahead, maybe schoolteacher is a job where you carry a weapon and make $19k a year. Like I said, I could live long enough to be laughed at when I tell people when I went to gradeschool our teachers were unarmed women in their 50s+.
Hell, now I'm thinking of Sister Mary Gertrude packing heat. Damn.
