[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 185046, member: 135"] As a retired techer, I have to say I think this is an awful idea. What the he!! are they thinking? I am not totally opposed to guns. As a single woman, living alone, I do have one in my house and if somebody breaks in and threatens me, I will not hesitate to use it. However, having teachers with guns at school is an entirely different matter. There are lots of wonderful teachers but it only takes one nut to cause a tragedy. Guns can be stolen. Many of the kids I taught were a foot taller than me and outweighed me by 100 pounds. How easy would it be for them to get a gun away from me, even if I were willing to use it? This is just another example of what happens so often: when society fails our kids, they blame the teachers and try to make them responsible for fixing whatever went wrong. I absolutely would not teach in, or allow my kids to attend a school where teachers have guns. It is a stupid, stupid, stupid idea. [/QUOTE]
