re: Should teachers/faculty be allowed to have a concealed weapon?

It is what the US deems "school" shootings since 2000, 212 school shootings.... If you are going to claim "majority" I want to see proof rather than just your vague opinion.

I’m talking about the mass shootings. Not some schmuck misfiring into a locker.

I'm talking what is classified as a school shooting, would you like to clarify what is a "mass" shooting.... 2 students shot, 5 students shot, 10 students shot, how many is enough to be considered "mass" for your narrative to work?

Your whole thesis was that an armed teacher would’ve stopped these mass shootings. Now you’ve gone so far off the rails that you’ve completely diverted from the topic. You’re now focused on shootings that were stopped in situations where (obviously) no teachers were armed and zero deaths occurred. Come on, man.

On the whole, I think you're just as likely to escalate situations as you are to stop a mass shooting.

quote:I actually really disagree with this, the reason being I think if students knew the faculty was armed they would think twice about it. I do not think it would escalate a situation as the students who are at school to learn would not be the types to bring weapons into a school. Those that would would debate actually bringing them onto a campus knowing that the teachers/faculty could open fire on him/her.

It should be a requirement of all school employees to carry at least one lethal weapon at all times.

In short:
Yes. With prerequisites/restrictions.

Kids that are there to learn aren't the problem. However, there a sizable portion of gun owners who can't wait to find a reason to use them on another person. Think about someone like Ronald Gasser.
The majority of gun owners are responsible, no doubt, but the off chance that they'll limit a shooting spree will be offset by a frick ton of guns on campuses.

All schools should have their fire sprinklers reworked so that they can fill the halls and classrooms with tear gas at any moment. Would really make students think twice.

It's not as if these mass shooters are thinking rationally. They're killing 10-20 of their peers, they're not exactly going to care about consequences.

Tear gas is for pussies, needs to be lethal. Threat of a gas chamber will prevent mass shootings for sure.

No
the solution is threat exclusion not interdiction

It’d be great if they were undercover as well.
No, I glad my security armed openly, that is the greatest deterrent.

No, but should be a requirement that every school employee is trained in first aid.

Do we really want to live in a place where everyone is carrying an agent of instant death at all times?
That sounds even worse than a police state.
I'd take my chances with the astronomically low odds of being shot in a terrorist situation, rather than having every chemistry teacher being locked and loaded.
