My county wouldn't even approve a half cent sales tax to repair school buildings - where is the money coming from to arm teachers?

We don't even have enough desks in every classroom. The chairs in my library are 30+ years old and break under students. But we're going to find money to arm and train 20% of the teachers?

the proposal is that teachers who are already armed and trained will no longer be PROHIBITED BY LAW from carrying in school, to bring schools into accordance w laws covering, e.g., bakeries quite different

Already trained on how to use a weapon or trained on how to take out an active shooter in a school? Wouldn't they need to comply with specific procedure, have their weapons checked, work with local law enforcement on their active shooter response? $$$

A friend just told me he was able to apply for a concealed carry at 36 years old with a gun safety certificate he received at 10 years old. He doesn't remember anything about the course. Would that person be well-trained enough to defend children with a firearm?

serious question: I last took a driver's safety class 30 years ago (I'm 46). Should I be allowed to drive? Should you? Cars are deadly and kill many more than guns. If you want to suggest re-training for deadly tools every 2-5 years, we can discuss that.

I'm saying that if a teacher is carrying a gun on campus with the intent to shoot a person in an active shooter scenario, there should be VERY SPECIFIC training for that. That's common sense to me. As a high school librarian.

And I'm saying that if a citizen is allowed to carry a defensive weapon under state laws (which usually involve training), why do you consider schools as different from bakeries?

Public institution. Intent. Children.

yep. I see those three words. Still not sure why you think that the laws that apply * in a park * at a soccer field * in a bakery (all public areas, all where children are present) should not apply in a school.
