I am not a teacher but if I go to a family reunion I can’t throw a rock without hitting one. It is my understanding that state law in CA is that if you have your principle’s permission any otherwise entitled employee can have a gun at school. I know more than one that does.

Please don’t call your local newspaper, radio, or TV station with this information.

It's comical (also disturbing) how many people squirm and scream and howl that kids are going to get a hold of the weapon and harm everyone in the classroom. Eerily similar to the voices in opposition to CCW, claiming that the streets will flow with blood. Even though it never happens, they just won't shut up. This districts change in policy is commendable and I hope it isn't the last to do so.

The Brady Center has spoken out against the plan...

Doh! What a surprise!
The Brady Center complains any time someone is capable of defending themselves with a firearm.

"It's unfair of us to ask teachers to take on the additional job of being police officers," said Paul Helmke, president of the Brady Campaign.

Helmke is an idiot. No one is asking teachers to be police officers. The only purpose of allowing teachers to be armed is if someone begins terrorizing the school.

Even police officers need years of training in hostage situations," said Traci McKay, whose three children are among the 110 students in the red-brick Harrold school. "I don't want my child looking over her shoulder wondering who's carrying a gun."

Yes, but those highly trained police officers will take more than 30 minutes to arrive at this school, according to media reports and school authorities. That's a lot of time for a killer to work his way down to any one of McKay's kids.

But I guess McKay would rather have her children witness the deaths of their friends and teachers than see a killer get anchored by their armed teacher.

Twits.
