Reply #191: Really? I've heard a number of good arguments for it.

And nothing but seriously belittling comments about how incompetent teachers are. I also see lots of comments that an armed policeman would be quite acceptable, however an armed teacher, regardless of the level of training and skill with a firearm, is "insanity" and will certainly result in the unfortunate death of at least one student.

I don't see how that makes any sense. And if guns have no business in schools, why are you so fine with officers carrying openly in school? On top of that, what is with your fascination with metal detectors? Are you aware that a school shooter is not going to be the least bit concerned about a stupid alarm going off?
