[QUOTE="Star*, post: 202935, member: 4964"] I have to agree with those that have asked - Is this the best we can do to solving the problem? I sure hope not. We had a shop teacher that drank and threw screwdrivers and chisels like throwing knives - Can't imagine HIM with a pistol. But in some ways I have to agree with Superspy - with the exception of feeling safer with someone who has had a background check to obtain a CWP. I've met my share of "deliverance" types at the Range and wouldn't feel any safer with them around me. Also - I guess my thought has always been - If you have one person standing up shooting people....and then 5 others AND myself stand up and start shooting....HOW do you know WHO is good (ie: CWP trying to help and nail that shooter) and who is maybe WITH the shooter. I dont' know that CWP classes have given me THAT ability or will. Living in fear day in and day out with an abusive x DID give me that flight for fear feeling....and despite all the years of therapy to get RID of that feeling it doesn't take much to get the "spidey" senses going. But I think about kids that LIVE that every day and HAVE no emotions...trying to survive. They don't care- And mental health IS WHERE this country should be investing it's time and dollars. Since that hasn't happened - THIS is their solution? WOW - I hope this was done JUST to gain NAtional attention. I can tell you this - other than a resource officer if a school said they would give guns to teachers? My son would be transferred out. I think we're asking WAY TOO MUCh of teachers to make those kinds of decisions. [/QUOTE]
