Has the time finally come to arm teachers?

I think it's PAST time. I think 'properly trained' teachers should been given the option of being discretely armed.

When I was an LEO, I was also a full-time teacher. Immediately following 9/11 I was armed at school (SIG P230 in an ankle holster) every day. This was waaay before SROs. I wasn't worried about 'terrorists'. I was worried about the local 'nut job'  (every town has one or two) wanting his '15 minutes of fame' before the world ended.

My current school has 1200+ students, is well over 200,000+ sq. ft., and occupies BOTH sides of the street. There are 73 separate entrances, and ONE SRO. Yep. One.

When TSHTF, teachers ARE the 1st Responders.

Is this the same teachers you guys say aren't working and not worth their pay?

Not me. Try again.

The train is running JH, wait for it.

When teachers aren't armed, they are sitting ducks, just like the kids.  They should absolutely have that option.

FJB claims that '...children BELONG TO TEACHERS when in school.' I protect my family at home. Why am I denied that capabily in my job as a teacher, IF what FJB claims is true?
