Now I don’t know a single educator who has gone to a gun
club or any other place to receive training in order to obtain a Conceal Carry
gun permit. I DO know some teachers who think that it’s a tremendously good
idea to arm teachers so that tragedies like the Newtown massacre of babies can
be avoided in the future.
But just a minute ago I stumbled across a very selfish
reason for school districts across the nation to forbid the possession of a
handgun by a teacher in the classroom.
Take a worst-case scenario, where we have a world that
accepts, and even promotes the notion that teachers need to be armed, and the
possession of concealed weapons in a classroom setting is a commonplace
occurrence.
Does this prevent a determined insane killer from intruding
on a campus and shooting the place up? By definition, the killer is insane. An
insane person is the only kind of person who would perpetrate this heinous act.
But if the insane person is knowledgeable of the fact that
every teacher is armed with a concealed weapon, guess who gets the first six
rounds pumped into him or her by someone armed with a semi-automatic rifle
capable of getting off six rounds per second?
Even if the teacher is, in fact, not armed?
Food for thought.
