I don’t think teachers should be armed. I was a teacher but have not been in the classroom setting in DECADES. My husband was in a USAF pilot for 20 years. He was armed after many hours of professional training with regular rechecks. He was an airline pilot both before and after 9/11. There was LOTS of discussion about arming pilots but that didn’t happen. Instead he was behind a strong, secure door, locked from the inside. He and I have been around guns all our lives. We were taught the care and handling in the safest environment. The classroom is for teaching. It is not a prison. There are other ways to handle the security of our nation’s children, including my 5 grandchildren ages 6-17.
