Should Teachers Be Allowed To Pack Guns?

Ashland, Ore. - In court documents, she's known as "Jane Doe."
Innocuous enough, but the woman behind that pseudonym pushes one of the nation's hottest political buttons:
guns and school safety.

| Teachers in South Thailand are all packing heat these days. Not sure if Changed-up farangs should be trusted though. |

I think only TEFL certified teachers should be allowed to pack guns. Especially CELTA certiifed ones. If a Korean gov't official feels the CELTA, a course for adults, is good enough for teaching grade school kids in Korea, then surely it's enough to certify one to carry a firearm.  |

Oh god no! Someone would shoot someone in Korea and then bad publicity would arise as a result. No need to pack a gun around in Korea.
I know of one teacher trying to get his gun over here to go pheasant bird hunting, but I seriously doubt Korea lets him have a gun. Heck, very very few Koreans have a gun. |

In Korea? No.
In the USA? Yes, if someone has a carry and conceal license. |

| Anyone who thinks allowing teachers to carry guns is the best way to solve the current problems in schools is not very bright. Guns in the classroom will only escalate the problem and doesn't even begin to solve the actual problem. |

As much as I dislike and would love to see erased the 2nd Amendment, I have to admit it would be pretty awesome if it were reworded to "The right of the people to pack Heat, shall not be infringed."
On topic: having guns in a classroom is genuinely one of the worst ideas I have heard in a long time. The function of a school is to create a learning environment that fosters creativity and critical thinking. Putting a firearm inside a school turns classrooms into something more like a battleground. |
