I have no problem with people exercising their right to bear arms, but I sure as heck don't want them to bear them in school. It sounds to me as if school administrators have given up trying to make their schools less dangerous and are saying, in effect, it's every man for himself.

I haven't read this article, but it's probably the same one I read this summer, which is a school whose closest police station is over a half hour away.
While I'm absolutely NOT comfortable with the idea of a teacher having a gun IN the classroom, I wouldn't be against the school hiring an armed security guard to be on campus at all times while school is in session.
I don't like the idea of it too many things can go wrong. Where do they keep their guns & can a student grab one? No offense to anyone but not all teachers have their heads on straight either, point in fact dd's teacher from last yr. She was nuts, pure & simple. I wouldn't want a gun in her hand.
I think all weapons belong out of the schools, including for teachers. its as crazy as the law in FL where emplyees can take their guns to work w/them & have them in their cars. We have enough looneys already hurting people over some stupid thing while driving.
I'm totally against guns in schools, or the workplace & defintiely cars. jmo
