Can we PLEASE give Cali back?

I believe a teacher should be armed if they so choose. Why is their right to defense taken,away just because they,are around kids? Same teachers are,around the same kids in the local mall or Macdonalds. A Marine vet, a coach, engaged the latest shooter while the civilian deputies cowered outside. Nobody thinks he wouldn't have fared better had he been armed? He died trying.

There would of been less kids dead if that Vet was armed... guaranteed.

It should be an optional program I am sure there are teachers that would wilt at the sight of a gun but there are others who could defend a class or stop a mass murderer if given the chance to do so. Funny, every teacher is required to get CPR certified but they balk at othe lifesaving certifications.

This, I'm a professor and I'm more than well trained to do what's necessary to defend my students and myself in case of an active shooter scenario.

I teach pistol classes, and also rifle (although not certified for rifle, but there's nothing the NRA course can add at this point).

Let me do what I'm trained and prepared to do in case a disgruntled lunatic student decides to cut loose.

To make matters worse, the teacher was a reserve police officer.

So what's worse, a teacher with a ND or a reserve LEO with a ND?

I'm no NRA safety instructor, but shouldn't the first thing he did was clear the pistol? Wait, it was probably a block with the brake pedal on the gas pedal. Ya, that's probably the case.
