Teacher here. I consider all of the teachers I've worked with, and I consider how few of them I would trust with a loaded firearm under the best possible circumstances (maybe 10 percent).
Then I consider the number of those who would actually consider using a firearm (down to about 3 percent).
And then I consider how many of those I would trust with a firearm in a room full of students... and it's zero.
I finally just avoided the problem by moving to a country where civilians are not generally allowed to own guns and school shootings are not a problem.
Right?! I barely trust some of my colleagues to do their day job reliably let alone manage a firearm in a high pressure scenario.
