With all these school shootings that are occuring, should teachers become proficient with a hand gun, and keep it in the class room?

馃 I don鈥檛 think so.

Shooting a gun in a defensive posture around children in a school requires more than accuracy but knowledge on weapons manipulation such as unholstering your weapon, drawing it out and precise quick thinking. Not to mention basic room clearing techniques and producers. Which believe it or not takes a lot of time and money on the range with knowledgeable people instructing.

It鈥檚 not unlike a martial art at all. It requires patience and constant training to learn and keep up with these skill sets.

Id rather see private contractors with police or military backgrounds pulling security. Or allow a teacher to bring a gun if they can show they are proficient and willing. An honestly I don鈥檛 even see that working. There wouldn鈥檛 be enough public backing for it.

Remember after 9/11 they had the nation guard at airports? But people were so intimidated by them they did away with them carrying rifles. An then got rid of them all together?
