Should college professors be armed? Should school teachers be armed?

Think about the situation of your child (or you!) sitting in an auditorium or classroom when a shooter shows up. Do you want them to be sitting ducks? How far away will the School Resource Officer be? Will he even be there, or will the shooter pick a time when the SRO's marked police car is not parked in its reserved parking spot? (Is this a reason to avoid the parking of a marked police car in front of a school and to remove its reserved parking placard?)

What if certain trained, interested, shooting-range-qualified, concealed-carry and properly permitted teachers and other staff were carrying concealed handguns - and knew how to use them?

Would our schools be safer? You bet!
