I don't like it. If people are that worried about a school chooting hire security gaurds. Teachers having guns kinda worries me. Even if a teacher was in a position were they needed to use it, could they really bring themselves to take out a student who they have taught or seen everyday?
I think that it is ok for the teachers there to carry guns just in case of an emergency, just as long as they are hidden where students couldnt find them in case of an altercation...
The idea of teachers having guns doesn't really make me feel safer.
