Reply #254: I think that is why they have the subjective approval

requirement, because there are people who might very well be eligible for a carry permit, due to a lack of wrongdoing in their life, and might successfully achieve crisis managment and hostile situation training, yet still not really be the type of person you really want around kids. Those people would hopefully be caught by the final check, which is the top administrator's personal judgement. The admin is obviously not perfect, but who is? Overall I think there are plenty of checkpoints that a teacher would have to cross before being able to carry in the classroom, and most people would be dissuaded just by the process itself. That is why many people I know do not have their own gun or carry permit yet, not because they are untrustworthy ineligible or not someone who should have them, they want them but not badly enough to fulfill the procedural requirements, which means they are probably not interested enough to sink the time and money into practice, which to me says they should not be carrying. At least not yet. I think the same mechanism would probably separate many somewhat interested teachers from doing this.
