Teachers packing heat?

[Huggy Bear]

Here's a scenario. Since our favorite terrorists have already said they plan on doing this...You drop your little ones off at preschool at 0900. Hug, kiss, "I love you. See you in a couple hours."

Soon afterwards, 3-4 terrorists waltz right in the front door, heavily armed. Maybe they cut the head off a 2 year old and throw it out into the parking lot to get the local media hopping. The teachers are killed immediately and they now have 20 to 30 little boys and girls who will eventually be dead. The terrorists have no grand illusions about pulling out of this alive, but they must make sure to get their actions captured on video for later viewing by all. Maybe this happens at several locations simultaneously. How tough would it be? A walk in the park.

At this point, even if some of the teachers were armed, it would be near impossible to prevent.

Doom and gloom I know, but unfortunately, we have a long ugly road ahead of us.

My $2.00 worth.

That already happened to those poor russian kids in Beslan. Terrible. Happened to a western school in myanmar not too long ago as well. Heaven knows its happened to plenty of schools here in the US with homegrown nutcases.

It has given me pause that I have 2 of my 3 kids at the same school. Morbid, but it's happened before.

To carry or not to carry ????? That is the question ....

You don't "feel" most teachers would "carry"??? Now, why is that .... ???? What do you base your "feeling" on ... ???

Or ... is it just kinda a NYC 'feeling' .... ????

Well, for one let me say (if some don't know my viewpoint) I'm all for the right to carry firearms, IMO if a teacher wants to pack heat, that should be their right.

But like cisforsmasher said, most teachers (at least that I've seen) are bleeding heart liberals.

The teacher's union isn't exactly right-wing or libertarian. You look at the number of colleges offering courses in Military History and the numbers offering "Peace Studies," which is more proliferent?

That would be something though, going into "Peace Studies" class and the professor has a side-arm

Since you appear to be from New York, according to your profile ( I have not checked your IP for veracity, but I will when I find the time) .... do you know who "Big Tim" Sullivan was ..... do you know what the "Sullivan Act" was all about???? It's origin and "rationale" ... ???

Nope, will have to check up on that. BTW, I'm from Upstate, NY, near Rochester, not NYC.

Do you know the origin of the draconian "New York" gun laws ... ???

Nope, will need to read up more on it. Right now I am reading "More Guns, Less Crime" by John R. Lott.

All good answers, clear thoughts, and I'm glad you are from the "good part" of NY.

Quite possibly the ultimate "Peace Studies" class??? Ironic as well. Maybe that's why they called this the "Peacemaker"???

Yeah but about the only place an attack like that wouldnt work the way they wanted would be a full out assult on a Police Station or a gun store. And even then its likely to be "messy."

A teenager walked into the parking lot of one of the local poloce stations here last year and opened fire. After all was said and done he and two cops were dead. Even the best prepared can not be prepared for everything.......
