You don't get to set higher standards for concealed carry for government employees than you do for anyone else. Infringement is infringement.

Agreed. I'm not suggesting different standards for concealed carry for government employees. I'm suggesting different standards for concealed carry for employees in a school workplace environment.

What those teachers do outside of the school environment should be treated the same as everyone else.

If it’s legal for a school to ban guns outright, then it certainly should be legal for them to set standards on which employees can carry them.

Marcella said: "... students could head for their car, get their weapon and try to take the guy out. "

If the student carries concealed, then the time from visibility of the student's weapon to stopping an attacker might be five to ten seconds. If the student has to race to a car and return to the scene of the attack ( a questionable judgement call) it might be two minutes or more of visibility of the student's weapon.

The chances of the helpful student being mistaken for an unlawful attacker probably increases in proportion to the amount of time one is visibly armed. Having to run to the car and back might increase the chances of the student being killed by responding law enforcement by a factor of ten or more.

Concealed carry is much better than "car carry". And if law enforcement takes ten minutes to arrive, either is much better than "no carry".

“Concealed carry is much better than “car carry”. And if law enforcement takes ten minutes to arrive, either is much better than “no carry”.”

The law as passed in May, 2013, allows car carry. It is what it is. I wouldn’t be surprised if another law is passed in the next session which starts next year, 2015.
