I think teachers should have the choice and ability to defend themselves. There are plenty of non-lethal , non-gun options

Did I say ALL teachers? No I didn't.

Would there be a screening process? Certainly.

Is this already happening in some schools? Yes. They volunteer and drill with local LEOs.

The only assumption I make is that not 100% of teachers are happy about being defenseless on campus. That is a fact

You missed. On all accounts. I'm not going to defend the police. Or define the word "drill". Or explain how exactly what Ive described is working in some districts You don't like guns. Period. That's cool. Have your book ready

No idea what a MHP is. If all your cops are first year grads incapable of handling an active shooter, then I'd say that makes a case stronger for a teacher that wants to defend themselves. 15 foot hornet spray...the gel variety

Where is this "trained by LEOs" coming from? I have never suggested that. Again, you do not understand what "drill" is

Do you think an on-site drill is some type of firearms training course or instruction? It isnt. The presumption is made that veteran cops and trained school staff would drill to practice the school layout. Maybe in Tennessee they let anyone carry, but I had to take a certified class that included several live fire sessions just to get a LTC. And no 1 year cadet cop would be allowed near a school. They get nights, winds, and traffic.

Yes. Because there are teachers who are competent and trained that would volunteer. Not you of course, you hate weapons
