I doubt any of those teachers would have the balls to pull a trigger, ever, and even if they did, to use it remotely accurately in a high pressure situation? Impossible.

I understand that concern.....but if there is a gunman opening fire in a school and a teacher is too scared to pull the trigger, then it won't really make any difference at all if they had a gun or not. The outcome will likely be the same. I'd rather give the opportunity for a teacher to be able to protect students than not at all.

And school shooters are cowards. Guaranteed they tuck and run if someone starts returning fire at them.

Not sure how I feel about this to be honest

show me all the shooters who go to a gun range to kill people.

The idea that the first person you encounter at a school can fire back is going to give these psychos pause because they're looking for infamy...not getting snuffed out before they even get a shot off.

I just keep imagining my teachers in elementary school owning or attempting to use a gun. I don’t think it would do a damn thing and I doubt any of those teachers would have the balls to pull a trigger, ever, and even if they did, to use it remotely accurately in a high pressure situation? Impossible.

Here is what I imagine. A crazy intent on killing innocent kids shows up at the school and sees a sign that says "You are in Tennessee now. Our teachers are packing". The crazy immediately turns around and goes somewhere else.

We really don't have any data for or against teachers packing. We do have tons of data that show the crazy shooters choose gun free zones to do their carnage. We also have data that "Gun Free Zones" don't seem to work all that well.

You’re going to get some down votes by simple reflex of some posters.

But, honestly, the idea of school teachers and staff all packing guns
just doesn’t add up to a safer school. It’s kind of looney tunes.
