[QUOTE="rawhide, post: 2181434, member: 3448"] CoachR64 is correct. As for training to deal with a killer on campus, I'm all for it because it's the responsible thing to do. Requiring it with components that are irrelevant to the situation but make everyone who isn't in my shoes feel better, not so much. The need for all teachers to be trained in dealing with these situations armed or unarmed is needed but ignored or only given lip service. We shouldn't be debating how much CLEET training a responsible adult who is willing to carry a firearm in defense of him/herself and their students should get to exercise a basic human right. We shouldn't be in favor of a law that as Coach64 points out is only a feel good measure that will accomplish nothing. We should be discussing how to change the dialogue about guns and the perceptions that have been perpetuated by the politically correct, anti-gun crowd. We should be discussing what kind of specific situation training can be provided to armed and unarmed teachers to deal with a deadly threat. Also, may I remind everyone that teachers in Utah have been carrying, with no special training required, for more than a decade and have not had a single incident that I can find. And I've tried to find one. Lastly, should local boards have control of their schools? Yes. But he who provides the funds makes the rules. Very few schools are willing to give up outside funding. Most are dependent on it and working to find ways to get more of it. [/QUOTE]
