There is a debate now raging on the potential of arming teachers at our nations schools, colleges, and universities. On one hand, this will do away with the "gun free" areas that have made targets out of crazies on killing sprees and allow citizens t protect themselves and others. On the other hand, it does allow handguns to become accessible. All it takes is one teacher to put their weapon into their desk drawer, walk out of the room to speak to another teacher and you can get a 2nd grader who now has access to a gun. Or worse.. a disgruntled 11th grader.
There is a law going through the Arizona State Legislature right now that would allow teachers and students with a CCW to carry on campuses. Honestly, the more I think about this, the more I am confused. I watch the news every day and see a "road rage" segment; someone getting wounded or killed. What happens when a student with a CCW is taunted by a classmate or teased... or takes one too many pills before he gets to class and loses control? Are schools the right place to have easy access to handguns?
Most of me says YES, but there is the part that questions the responsibility of a 21 college student since i work with a bunch of college students and am currently attending school, again. I see these "kids" everyday and wonder if they will make it to 22, with the way they drive. Having a CCW takes responsibility that some people are not capable of. As for the educators, I am not so sure about a few of them, either.
