Armed Teachers by: Juliet Moeller

At the start of your blog I began thinking this would be just another rant about how teachers should be allowed to carry weapons at schools to protect the children and themselves from school shooters. After I finished reading, I could see that you gave this topic much thought and created a plan on how to execute the idea of having armed teachers in school. I have children who attend school and the thought of a possible school shooting happening where they attend crosses my mind often. Although having armed teachers to protect them seemed like a good start to combat the possibility, I was still skeptical on how I or anyone could trust teachers to carry a gun on campus just because we assumed, they’d protect our children. What if the teacher isn’t capable of that responsibility? What if it is a teacher with permission to carry who does the shooting next time? What if a student gets to the teacher’s weapon? How do we control those outcomes? Your plan to have mental health screenings, extensive and proper training, and the suggestion of how to keep the weapons secure and safe gave me the feeling that there is a possibility it could work. With more detail and information on how this plan could be executed, I agree that these could be important steps towards making schools safer.
