Arm The Teachers, ctd

It seems my previous post wasn’t very clear.

The idea I was dismissing outright as laughably stupid was arming teachers as a matter of school (or state, or national, or whatever) policy. I was not dismissing the idea of allowing teachers who are otherwise liscensed and inclined to carry a gun to do so in their classroom, if they so choose.

Now it happens to be the case that I also think that’s a bad idea and one I oppose, but I agree it doesn’t merit the level of scorn with which I viewed the idea of arming all the teachers as a matter of policy.

So I should have been more clear, the differences between the two scenarios are important.
