Hire guards but still don’t introduce firearms
No, any firearms not for hunting should be outlawed in Canada. If there are no guns, there is much less need for a gun.
@93RH9D8New Democratic3yrs3Y
depends on where the school is and they should have a licence and mental tests done to see if they are capeable of carrying a gun
@8W4BGQ5New Democratic4yrs4Y
No! Are you kidding me?!?!? How is this even a question?!?!? No guns at all should be allowed in Canada!
@8V8LQD4New Democratic4yrs4Y
It is teachers jobs to teach and educate our children. They don’t even get paid enough for that. Why would we put more responsibility on them.
Absolutely not. All this would do is create a culture of fear in schools and society
I would say only in the worst situations possible like there's a rapist in the school or a serial killer in school.
@9BJ887SNew Democratic2yrs2Y
No, and tighten gun restrictions. This isn’t the U.S.
@8BXNXCH5yrs5Y
I feel like they should because if the person breaks into the school and gets to our classroom the teacher should have to bed ready to strike.
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, at least two teachers or staff members who pass both a certified training course and psychological testing should be armed for emergency situations

It depends because it could be good for self-defense but this could also increase the rate of accidental shootings.
@8LJD4FT4yrs4Y
No, more guns will not stop school shootings
@8P9CLBG4yrs4Y
Only conceal carry on their person. Only to be used in a shooting case.
@8PGP4Q74yrs4Y
I feel like this would increase the risk of an accidental shooting but at the same time we could have are teachers go through a professional training class
@8RY48W84yrs4Y
No, but improve access to school resource officers
@8VYQC3H4yrs4Y
They should be allowed only if they have had an extensive background check and they have classes where the weapon will not be taken and used against others.
@8W9KX2R4yrs4Y
No due to teachers not being trained and some teachers not fully stable.
@8XTSLDY3yrs3Y
Yes, but only with additional intensive training
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
No, hire professionally trained security guards who are certified to carry a firearm instead

@8TQHNB44yrs4Y
use police officers as they are properly trained

Yes, but only if the the teacher(s) go through a mandatory gun safety course
@57XN3G43yrs3Y
Yes, if they are experienced, trained and wish to.
@5PYQTKR4yrs4Y
Yes, but only if the teacher that wishes to carry goes through very specific training for it & follows strict rules. Training should be ongoing & include currency range time.
@6K8N8XC5yrs5Y
Yes, if the teachers are ok with handling it and have a concealed carry permit.
@7Z659224yrs4Y
Yes, but with proper screening and training
