you made me think twice, Velvet. I normally stay out of gun right discussions and am not a gun owner, but now I'm thinking...

1. I think most teachers view their students, not quite but almost, like their kids. The need to protect them must be great and maybe with proper training, carrying guns might work.

2. Teachers carrying guns might deter kids from charging the shooter and getting killed. Recently it has been espoused that fighting is better than "flighting." But it usually means some innocent child gets killed.

It certainly could all go wrong. It's a conundrum.
