Do Teacher's With Guns Make School's Safer?
Lately school shootings have been occuring more frequently resulting in innocent children's deaths such as in Wisconsin, Colorado and Pennsylvania. Now a Wisconsin lawmaker feels he needs to make a stand for the safety of the faculty and children in the schools by introducing legislation that would allow school personel to carry concealed weapons. This may come as a shock to many American citizens, however it is a common instance in places such as Israel and Thailand where the teachers already carry weapons to protect children. It would also be required of the teachers to be strictly trained with these arms, but then the question occurs of who will pay for these guns and their training? More than likely the people will pay for it with their taxes.

I feel that in most school systems across, the threat of a school shooting is slim to none. It is in this thought that I do not believe that all teachers everywhere should be able to carry a concealed weapon. I feel that teachers in large inner city schools such as Detroit and Atlanta should be able to carry a gun for protection, because there is a higher chance that a student is carrying some sort of concealed weapon as well. In these school systems the administration has lost its control on the violence in their school systems so why not allow teachers to protect themselves and the students that are in their classroom. Only in extreme circumstances should teachers be allowed to carry a gun due to the fact that a majority of the schools in America are safe and have a positive learning environment.
