Showing Original Post only (View all)I shut up an NRA right winger yesterday in church. [View all]
He started asking me about arming teachers before I even got my coat off. I said, Look at me. Many students in the middle school and high school could overpower me in a matter of seconds, grab my keys and get the gun. Then what? He then started muttering about armed security guards. I asked about funds. (He has complained in the past about new school hires) He then muttered something about volunteers with guns. I gave him an incredulous look, and said, What could go wrong with that?He shut up. His daughter is also a teacher! I just dont understand these people.

I agree. I think it would be horribly wrong to make teachers comply with such a law.

Arm teachers? Then you could be just as scared of your coworker as you are of a deranged teenager.
