simmer down tiger, I wasn't trying to imply you were. your statement did sound like it came right from an anti gun slogan though. nobody is saying that teachers should be a first line of defense, but if there is a teacher or two who can handle a weapon, and they are willing to take on the responsibility and ensure they are trained up, id rather them be a last line of defense with legal blessing than a victim.
there are still teachers out there who havnt figured out they are suppose to be sheep.
nobody wants to "let it get to that point" but it may just well happen wether we want it to or not, and one more layer protecting my children is ok with me.
