The NRA's idea of armed response in schools is so ridiculous because...

ARM THE TEACHERS!!!!!

ARM THE TEACHERS!!!!!

People keep saying this. Please listen as I AM a teacher... There are some teachers I would pay for NOT to have access to a firearm. Let's not use such a broad brush stroke. People need training, etc. None of my admins are on this board so: I think it would be a great idea for teachers to be allowed to carry. But I've known more than one who was "dismissed" because they asked for permission to carry in the school. People are more scared of the kids getting access to it than an actual shooter scenario.

Yes I carry in school, no one knows... hence the "concealed".

Carry on, be safe. Think.

I'm totally on board with the voluntary thing. just need to make it law to allow them to do so. my wife, mom, dad, sister, brother-in-law, and 2 uncles are all teachers.

Anyone else find it interesting that Columbine happened DURING the AWB?

Hmmm, so restrictive gun laws will never prevent these types of things...

But I digress.

They can simply change their job description from teacher to teacher/security guard and the law allows for them to carry.

I would personally pay for the CCW training for a teacher who wanted to carry at my kids school.

Any employee of any colorado school district will receive a free seat in our CCW classes, have them get ahold of me.

FTFY

we need to move away from the "Armed Authority" mentality and towards an armed citizenry
