Who says they will leave their weapon unsecured.


You think all teachers are idiots? I'm sure there are plenty of idiot teachers, so that's why you need to weed out the idiots from the responsible ones.

But the biggest effect of possibly "armed teachers" is as a deterrent and not as the school's "on site" SWAT team. If confronted, at least they will have a chance to defend their students. Do they need to have the weapon on their person at all times? Not if there is a way to secure it in the school. Lock boxes in the classroom?

If I was a teacher and a murderer moving from class to class gunning down kids, would I prefer to be armed, or unarmed? Not a difficult choice for me, or a lot of teachers.
