“Even allowing students to carry, unless they are highly trained, might result in mayhem. Can you imagine a dozen or more students firing in different directions in the same room? Guns in the hands of novices or those uninterested in obtaining the proper training could cause more harm than good.”
This line of thinking has been proven false time and again.
Every local that has increased the number of CCW holders has seen a decrease in crime. “Proper training requirement” is nothing but another feel good barrier the left tries to throw at the Constitution.
The military and police go through intense training on responding as a unit to threatening situations. Yet STILL there are “friendly fire” casualties.
I can imagine the disarray in a classroom with a bunch of young armed students randomly responding to a threat.
But one could make the argument that the pros outweigh the cons.
