Teachers and guns

[josieposy]

Is it just me, or does this teacher look like she's about to shoot herself in the ass?

[mbcdefg]

She looks like she's scratching her ass with the gun. 

[meshaliuknits]

She looks like she needs to not be walking around with a gun shoved in her pants like she's in a damn movie.

[meshaliuknits]

Also, I have pants just like those. lol

[sparrowsong]

I have so many people on my Fb sharing that Vince Vaughn interview about how school need to have lots of guns . Some issues that I dont agree with I can at least see their perspective. But filling schools with armed civilians is just beyond me.

[jillboston]

I used to crush so hard on Vince Vaughn. Oh wells.
When I think of how unstable some of my teachers were... ((shudders))

Are they the Express Editors? 

They are Express. IDK what, though. I got them at Ross.

Also, that's going to work out really well if a strong student decides to tackle her and take the gun. 

Or if she snaps one day. 

Or, or, or, or, or ...

Why? Why on earth should teachers carry weapons in school? What is that going to do? Not a damn thing!

[Deleted]

The hell?

I'm pretty sure if my high school chemistry teacher had a gun I'd be dead.

[vlagrl]

I'd be taking my kid out of public schools if it came to all teachers carrying guns

[KB]

Express ponte pants?

My biology teacher used to throw books across the room.

This is what I was thinking of. We had some very violent kids this year, and I shudder to think what would have happened if they had known they'd had access to a weapon in the school. I had a kid wrestle me down to get his hat from me and I had several kids break into my desk to steal candy. There's literally no place I could have hidden something where determined kids wouldn't have been able to go.

Teachers carrying guns ... this is about the only thing I can think of that would lead me to homeschool my kids.

[UMaineTeach]

What am I even going to use my gun for day-to-day?

I have to have a damn good reason to use physical restraint and seclusion and follow it up with 2 written reports, a parent phone call, a parent notice, a staff meeting, a meeting with the student...

There's no reason EVER to shoot a kid at school, so I don't need a gun. The number of kids in the school is much higher than the number of terrorists in the school, so the only reason to need a gun in school is to shoot kids. WHICH NO ONE SHOULD EVER DO.

It's the gun nut response to Sandy Hook.  Why no, we shouldn't tighten gun laws, we should just ARM EVERYONE.

My teacher had polio and was in a wheelchair. She'd throw shoes. I loved her.

her clothing would offer no gun concealment coverage whatsoever. baggy clothes all the way

Meanwhile, look what happens to people wearing baggy clothes who are suspected of carrying weapons in said baggy clothes.

My moms high school chemistry teacher once used a fire extinguisher on two kids who were fighting.

I am pretty sure that would get you fired now.

[cville]

Like anyone who clearly goes commando or wears a thong to avoid VPL would then go and ruin the line of her slacks with a bulky gun.

Spray or blunt object?

This is my biggest concern. Students attack teachers all the time. Will teachers have the right to shoot students if they feel in danger. What happens when students jump a teacher to take his/her gun?

Yes, did she make them cold or bludgeon them?

[tres3]

I trust my kids teachers to lay across all of them to protect them from a shooter, I think I might trust 1 out of the 50 teachers in our school to actually accurately shoot a gun (she clay pigeon shoots for a hobby).

That gun looks ripe for some kid to grab and do some serious damage or accidental discharge. Where is the teacher going to store said gun? In her desk? on her body? both have serious implications.

[btdt]

Right. Because we don't get DAILY emails about a teacher's cell phone or school keys being lost. "If anyone has come across my snub-nosed .38 special, could you shoot me an email? Kthanx!"
