These Teachers Are Learning Gun Skills To Protect Students, They Say

[Demi-human]

Yeah, but I bet those bank vaults weren't installed by someone who had only a weekend training class.

No training is needed to install a metal door. Since during construction there are a myriad of different professions on-site, there is actually a requirement to not install the locking mechanism and to block the door open. The locks are put in later, if one can read instructions, then one is able to install it. The certifications that go with the installation reside with the owner of the installing business. Usually he doesn't do the install himself. That's what I'm for, the heavy lifting, the screw turning.

Back to the issue at hand.

When, in the extraordinarily rare instance, a criminally deranged person shows up at the school of your child, do you want a person, any person, there with the means to repel an attack? Or not?
(This question is for everyone, I am not trying to single you out hdwhit. I should have posed this in a separate post.)
I do. It is my personal decision. I personally believe that teachers, janitors, coaches and office personnel are not so stupid they would empty a pistol, killing a student with every shot and leave the intruder unharmed.

Call me a Pollyanna if you wish.

Pretty much impossible to use a firearm (safely or unsafely) if THE RIGHT TO HAVE THAT FIREARM IS DENIED!
Who the heck are you to decide what is or isn't safe, what is or isn't proper training?

You make exactly the same argument as the antigun crowd.......that the ONLY ones that should be armed are the police (where the government decrees what is proper training).




Hogwash. Your understanding of the foundations of the Second Amendment are nonexistent.




Which has jack squat to do with this thread or any discussion of the CURRENT Second Amendment.




Wait, what? YOU advocate that the Second Amendment doesn't apply to teachers....now you're worried about yourself?






The outcome isn't in your hands.
No one is arguing that a trained shooter isn't better than an untrained one.
The argument is give the good guys the same damn footing as the bad guys.
Again, shame on you and your elitist antigun position.

I'm sorry that you are so entrenched in your position that you have to result to mischaracterizing my position.
