Recent news that has caught my attention: teachers allowed to have guns in school? This is an interesting concept, that has got me thinking. So why shouldn't eligible teachers be allowed to conceal carry on campus? The way I see it, they've already had a background check when they got the job at their current school. They also have to obtain a concealed-carry license, so they now how to treat a gun, and shoot it. And some lawmakers are proposing that teachers also go through a "crisis-management" class as well. So after all this you know the teacher is qualified to carry the gun, and is not a criminal.
In the event of a Columbine-type attack, I think the added protection would help protect the students, or prevent the attack all together. Someone plotting an attack wouldn't even think about attacking the people inside a gun show, because no one would attack an entire group of people that were armed. The same applies to a school, no one would break into a school if every adult in the building had a gun in their waistband, and even the intimidation factor would scare away 99% of potential threats.
