Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?

Not only should teachers be allowed, but anyone who has their RPAL

HELL NO you’ll just have more accidents. Hire professionals and again, school bu school case by case. But NEVER the teachers carrying, no way.

No, ban all privately owned firearms

Hire guards but still don’t introduce firearms

Yes. Everyone should be allowed to carry assuming they've met all regulatory, safety training, and shooting standards. They also need to requalify their holster draw and shooting performance every year in order to maintain the discipline required for daily carry.

NO, by providing firearms to teachers (aka civilians not trained to respond tactically to a threat situation) you create a potential for more confusion and accidental casualties unrelated to the actual threat in the event of an attack (especially pertaining to a mass shooting event when it has been seen repeatedly that the whole "good guy with a gun" argument falls flat when said person can be mistaken for the shooter and inadvertently be seriously injured or killed by law enforcement during the chaos). Instead we should focus on stricter gun laws that remove firearms from civilian usage and provide more mental health care for the public. There are far too many risks and liabilities that outweigh the supposed "advantages" for a teacher to carry a firearm.

No. Teachers should not be allowed to carry guns at school. It would lead to accidental shootings schools need trained security guards and students need quality access to mental health care to help prevent school shootings.

It depends on who the teacher is. What is there background. If they have a bad background absolutely not. But if there a good teacher with a good background maybe. Because if a teacher can not control there anger or frustration with a student who knows what could happen.

No. Implement stronger gun control

Yeah but they should be trained and certified.

Yes but should be strictly trained on how and when to use.

No. Guns don't kill people. People kill people.

No, as teachers are meant to teach and guns aren't going to help with that. If armed protection is required, then hire professional security guards

I think current gun guidelines are ok

Train the principal and any teacher who wants to and keep it in a locked in the main office.

Yes, but only with adequate security training

Those who are legally allowed to own them should be able to have them

I would support this provided there was mandatory theory and practical education on handling weapons.

No, there is no need for guns in the workplace

If deemed necessary

No, but gun safety and awareness should be thought in schools.

Some schools will only be able to hire trained professionals if the government provides proper funding. Teachers should have some sort or defense mechanism, but does it need to be a gun? Higher security would be more beneficial if teachers are uncomfortable and if the government is willing to fund it because some schools can't afford it. This issue should be less of a public issue and more discussed within the education community. A parent shouldn't make a teacher have a gun if they are uncomfortable with it.

With the new gun ban, teachers only have to fear the real criminals walking around with illegal weapons. Now don't you liberal snowflakes feel safer!

Yes, as long as are trained to shot a gun. Schools should also hire professionally trained guards that are armed.

Yes, if teachers have sufficient training to safely secure and use a gun, this could be wise, especially in high-risk areas. There must be a standard minimum training established in order for this to happen, though. I, for example, should not carry a gun.

If the teacher wants to and has the proper training I would support them carrying guns.

no that is a job for a guard and shootings are not very common at the moment unless the teacher is trained well in use for a firearm they should not be allowed to carry at school

Yes, but make sure the teachers receive proper training.

Teacher needs to be cleared and have lots of lots of testing

Depending on the areas crime rates.

teachers are leaggly allowed to shoot students if they are being respectful

I think that teachers should be able to but they will have to know how to use that gun or have some restrictions on the gun.

Give teachers the option to receive very strict and intensive training but if they fail or refuse supply them with a body guard.

I think if the teacher is capable of protecting themselves without the use of the guns then yes. But one kick to the sack or a bonk on the head then the teacher goes down. Now the criminal has access to a weapon that he/she did not bring into the school

Assign police to schools to ensure security

No, hire professionally trained security guards with something less lethal such as tasers
