1. I've had students open the drawers of my classroom desk.

It wouldn't surprise me if a kid found a gun, took that gun, and shot another kid in the Lunchroom or the Playground. On purpose. Not fooling around and it goes off.

2. "What to expect from guns in Tennessee classrooms"

During an active shooter incident the untrained, inexperienced teacher injures and kills innocent students and teachers in a failed attempt to neutralize the gunman.

3. School Swatted:

armed teacher shot by first responder.

[Cosmocat]

16. One if the many aspects of this moronic idea

These dolts don't get.

[sakabatou]

4. Several things (in no specific order)

1. Teacher shoots an innocent
2. Teacher misfires firearm
3. Teacher misuses firearm
4. Firearm is stolen, and used by someone else
5. Firearm is stolen, later sold to someone else

[Red Mountain]

5. Armed teacher commits

suicide. (Kind of like one of the responses but I think it's more likely than mass suicide. People normally just quit the profession).

6. None of the above

30+ states allow teachers to carry guns, Tennessee is the latest. I haven’t seen any story where this led to a student being injured. If your state doesn’t then contract your representative and tell them to get with the program.

12. Fired a gun he wasn't allowed to have

Different circumstances. But I assumed you knew that.

17. Only curious what events HAVE there been. Like this loaded weapon found at elementary

Custodian finds loaded gun at SC elementary school

7. I wonder if they'll hire

Kyle Rittenhouse to be a teacher.

[Kennah]

11. "What do you mean 'your dog ate it'"?

[Grown2Hate]

13. Let's think about odds.

The odds of an active shooter situation which starts in a classroom where the teacher happens to be one of the few that decide to carry and is quick enough to grab it and take care of the situation in real time.

Pretty slim, right?

And if fully armed, fully trained, fully armored police were too scared to engage an active shooter in Uvalde, what teacher is going to roam the halls and do the same?

I just don't see the benefit.

[former9thward]

14. Instead of a push poll why not give realistic alternatives?

[NanaCat]

15. Who says they're not doing things to effect change on the issue

There's this thing called multitasking.

Look it up.
