Would you sign a petition allowing teachers to carry weapons?

I saw this petition and felt it was a good idea. It would give teachers and school staff a line of defense against future attacks.

Why stop there? Why not make military training a requirment for teaching? Ot just make all public school into military schools?

There we go! Handgun tarining by age 5, rifle training by age 10 and full auto training by age 15...maybe some hand granade practice in there somewhere too. That otta prepare them for a career in the sciences ;-) lol

Certainly not they already have a pensil and a pointy finger to which I remember my teacher thumping her long boney finger into my chest cause I was a stubborn girl who wouldn't cry for her. They like a tear or two back then.

Hell no!. Teachers (my fiance included), are there to teach, not police students. I agree something must be done, and I'm not anti-gun, and I have my share. I am anti-gun in schools.

Yes, and with ZERO hesitation.

If the teachers in Newtown had been armed and trained...

I couldn't agree more

You make a very valid point. Let's take guns away from police officers, because ONE of them MIGHT "go crazy." Let's also neuter the USA military complex, for the same reason.

No, and I don't know any teachers who would want to. None who wouldn't be considering shooting unruly kids, anyway.

Erm don't think its a very good idea but kids that just lash out at teachers( for no good reason )should be severely dealt with
MikeWinther
Sounds good.. UNTIL a teacher goes squirrelly and shoots up the place

No way, some kids are far smarter than their teachers.
