You make the same mistake the other guy made....not thinking things through. Now, think about it...if an armed teacher, janitor, principle...whatever...has been engaging a shooter when the police arrive, do you honestly think the police are going to fire them up just because they have a gun in their hand?
I already explained to you they will, based upon the comments the police made at our training.
Please don't say I'm making a mistake when I'm just repeating what I heard from the very people who will be entering my building in that situation. It makes you look silly.
Sounds to me like your police want you to just sit tight in your classroom huddled in a corner with your kids. And it sounds to me like you are content to do just that.
Yes, because our only two options are obviously to give teachers guns or to huddle in the corner. Of course, that's entirely untrue, as the training I attended a few weeks ago demonstrated.
But don't worry about it, I've read your posts on here before, and I wouldn't expect you to consider the concept of me having a little more understanding of what could happen in those situations than you. After all, I'm only the one who actually had the conversations with the officers and the one who went through the training and will continue to go through the training. And you...well....
I have no reason to apologize to you. Heck, I wasn't even TALKING to you when I made my comments. So...unless you are the sock puppet of the person I WAS talking to, you need to get off your high horse, dude.
The amusing part is where you were the one accusing others of not thinking things through. Could you please direct me to the moment I asked you to apologize to me?
And they would be thinking like dumbasses
Given your inability to comprehend what I've said thus far, I'm not sure you're really in the proper position to identify anyone as a dumbass.
You know what? You go right ahead and be *****whipped by the thought of someone choosing to be armed if they think they may be in danger while doing whatever they want to do to live their lives. Like going to church.
Not surprisingly, my comment went right over your head. Does this happen to you in most threads, or should I feel lucky it's happening in this thread?
So which union do you belong to?
There are no teacher unions in Missouri, in fact, it's only been in the last couple of years in which unionizing for teachers has even been legal (2007, I believe). Was there a point to your question?
nothing supports your side when it comes to this issue.
Except for the low rate of gun crime in most developed countries with strict gun control. But we'll conveniently ignore that since it is so damaging to your case.
Lets compare resumes. Unlike you, I have done more than teach, I have dealt with active shooter situations. I have shot someone in self defense. I have defended people including LEOs who have shot people. I have been a nationally recognized coach (yes a teacher) longer than you have been teaching and started as an Ivy league varsity coach almost THIRTY years ago along with being a TA then and later a lecturer on law. (Labor and employment law, con Law). So I know a thing or two about teaching and I doubt you have any training in self defensive firearms use.
That's all great for you, but unfortunately for you nothing you said there qualifies you as being informed on the subject of teacher/student dynamics and education in schools K-12. So, again, we're back to the point where you're speaking ignorantly.
If we were to have a conversation on how to properly teach self-defense with a gun, I'll defer to you. If we're going to talk about how a gun changes the relationship between a child and teacher, I'll rely far more on my experience with over 200 different kids every week. Using your logic, since I run my school's website, I'm qualified to tell Steve Ballmer how to run Microsoft. Just as silly as the idea I can run Microsoft is, the idea your history has any relevance in our present discussion is just as silly.
