Allow me a different approach. Your 4 year old is going to school for the first time, scared, afraid to let go of your hand... the teacher greets your child at the door. Would you prefer the teacher carry a gun on their waist or carry a live size teddy bear to greet your child? Second scenario, we are in high school geography class. The white haired old lady at the desk is looking around for her glasses before she starts her class. Third scenario, we are in university, the professor at the front is deeply engrossed in a macro econometric equation. He apologized earlier to the students for putting on his capris this morning instead of his pants because he was in a hurry to get to the lecture hall. All of these are real situations I have experienced.

One more thing to consider; the principal hiring the kindergarten teacher, what will they be looking for in a primary teacher? How well they can shoot?
The high school principal hiring the geography teacher, what will they be looking for in an educator?
The university committee in charge of deciding which candidate will bring prestige to the university (usually based on the type of research you have had published and how often your research is cited by others) do you think they will be interested in how well you can shoot?
