[Old Dog New Trick]

Arming teachers and bus drivers (as done in Israel) with guns (to include AR-15s or better SBR select/fire) may not be the best or most feasible answer to combat the remote possibility of an armed attacker but removing the stigma around the discussion as they have in Texas and elsewhere may promote a safer school setting simply because of the deterrence value.

Could you imagine if even 1% of the school faculty were armed with a combination of open and/or concealed carry and slung long guns on your kids campus. For that burden they would receive an extra $150 a month and a box of ammo to practice. They would only be required to qualify on the LEOSA Federal firearms proficiency exam twice a year. With a 25, 50 and 100 yard requirement for a long gun or shotgun.

I’m not advocating for arming school teachers, only that the 2A should be upheld as importantly as the others taught in schools.

I have no problems with state RCWs or Penal Codes that prohibit minors, felons, and other from possessing items deemed hazardous to the educational environment.

It’s still illegal in most urban areas to discharge a firearm without due cause of protecting life.
