The bottom line to most of the gun arguments, IMO, is "who is going to be responsible" for keeping us (whomever you consider the good guys) safe? Is it going to be the government (army, police, etc) or are we going to handle it ourselves.

The second question is who is responsible enough to be put in the position of determining when and where a weapon should be brandished.

The third is "are we safer with no guns around (except maybe the bad guys), or with them around where a child, teacher, etc could get to it and use it in an unlawful manner?


This is always the crux of the gun arguments. (Who, who is responsible, and whether the accidental outweighs the deliberate need.)

IMO, the simple answer would be for the school to send a select few teachers to CHL and maybe even peace officer training, and allow only those who are licensed peace officers to teach and be the on school security officers. You have used the system then to do all that is needed.

If the superintendent really thinks there is a problem, then pay for the teachers to get certified as peace officers. Find the money. Problem resolved.

Just a FYI: Last I knew, it was illegal for even peace officers to bring a gun on a campus (or event) unless invited by administration. *** my father spent some time as a superintendent. ******It is almost never enforced.
