Re: Gun-rights advocates want to allow Arlington teachers to

I have several friends that are employed by school districts. They brought this discussion up during lunch.

The immediate reaction from everyone was - that is a bad idea. There was no discussion among them other than guns just don't belong in the hands of teachers at school. I kept my mouth shut.

My wife, who supports me carrying, also had this reaction. I later asked what her reasons were. She responded that teachers in general are irresponsible and she thinks they would use a gun to intimidate students or in other improper ways.

I had two reactions. First, why are these people teachers if this is true? (rhetorical question - please don't answer) Second, if a person has a CHL, that should invalidate the above due to background checks and training on what not to do. She didn't have much to say in response.

I agree with the above, guns in schools is just too emotional for most people to have a logical response. I also agree that CHLs in schools will not stop mass shootings unless the CHL holder is attacked directly.
