        A good friend teaches third grade in Southern California. I’m currently texting with her about an active armed man either at the school or in the surrounding neighborhood. The VERY LAST thing she’s concerned with is shooting someone. This is an idiotic idea.

        Teachers are primarily concerned with getting students to the safest location possible. Not roaming the halls with a handgun to seek out someone with an assault weapon

        Exactly. Nor should they be trained or even considered for training to do this. It’s not their job.

        I have heard teachers say the same thing and they are gun owners. The level of training would be significant. That time should be spent enhancing their teaching skills

        Teacher would have been the very first person shot. That's what will happen if Trump tries to make teachers carry guns in the class room.

        America ask yourself this question, if a teacher has a gun out and a policeman or policewoman comes in the school looking for the shooter what are the odds that teacher will get shot? Easy answer and we don't need innocent teachers being shot @marcorubio @SpeakerRyan @POTUS

        I doubt it. My classroom was across from another classroom, if I missed it would have hit another child in another classroom. These glorious shootouts that some people want to have happen are going to end disastrously. #GunControlNow

        So many issues with arming teachers but who in their right mind thinks a teacher with a handgun can shoot “ the hell out of “ someone with an assault weapon ?
