Reply #152: Right, but the teachers aren't there for criminal activity [View All]

they are there to teach, and them carrying guns is a contigency plan for a school THAT CAN"T AFFORD TO HIRE SOMEONE ELSE. They aren't cops, they aren't there for law enforcement purposes, the one and only reason they are allowed to carry at school, and the one and only reason they would EVER remove their weapon from it's rightfully concealed position in a holster on their body is in response to an attack on the school, not for any other reason. Their jobs have not changed at all, nothing is different for them in the day to day humdrum of teaching, except that now they have an inconvenient and uncomfortable block of steel somewhere on their person, but if the school is ever attacked, they will be capable of protecting at the very least the children in the classrooms with them.
