CBS Piece: Teachers With Guns

[Henry Bowman]

"Arming teachers" would turn into as big a fiasco as "arming pilots." Why not simply "not disarm teachers"?

Its unfortunate that we have had to come to this point that kids are not safe in school, but I absolutetly agree that teachers should carry weapons and students should fight back, the "victim" mentality makes sense, rise up and stop being sheeple is exactly what we should be doing.

Serious. Assaults on teachers are not unknown. What provisions for preventing firearm removal from teacher during a classroom incident? What would be the result if a teacher shot a student in a violent classroom incident?

The result would be the same as if a stranger assaulted them outside, one more dead BG. Academics are assclowns of the first degree. Most of them, it's amazing they can tie their shoes in the morning, let alone teach a class of impressionable young minds. In all seriousness, what it WILL take are PRIVATE schools with pro-2A policies, allowing teachers to carry and maybe even training teachers. That and getting the Clintonite Soccer Mom mentality out of some of the people's heads. Oh the children! Oh think of the poor children.

EDIT: May I add that I work at a University so I do have great respect for the good teachers, but man, there are a lot of bad ones.

President of the Utah Education Association Kim Campbell is critical of having armed teachers. She said she cannot think of any circumstance where teachers should carry guns in school.

"I would be opposed to any guns in school, period," she said. "No matter where I would put a gun in a classroom, a class full of little people would find it. And if it were locked up safely, there would be no chance to get it."

You guys all need to take sales courses. I've found that the same methods for overcoming objections in the sales process works great in debates like this.

The real answer for this woman is,
"Part of what a lot of people that carry guns learn is how to properly keep them out of the hands of people that shouldn't have them. If you're trained to have a gun, you learn that the safest, and most useful place for it to be is directly on your person, and hidden. That way nobody knows it's there, and it makes it very difficult for someone to grab it away from you without you knowing.

Have you ever had someone try and take your keys out of your front pocket? Probably not. It's not like picking a wallet out of a back pocket. A proper gun holster will retain a gun much like your front pocket retains your keys. You'd have to reach around a piece of clothing, then pull on the gun. You'd feel the pull and react to prevent the gun from leaving your person.

If you don't believe me, I have a setup here you can put on right now and I can show you..."
