YOUR Scenario is why COCW should be allowed in EVERY school/classroom
CCW
I actually don’t favor weapons in every classroom. In my school - an urban school - there’s a decent percentage of kids who are just plain out of control.
Our hallways are crowded...elbow to elbow. If a teacher were carrying, one of those kids would sooner or later find out, and “bump” into that teacher in the hallway. Then there’d be a grab for the gun.
The teacher could instead keep his gun locked up somewhere in his classroom. That’s would be better, I suppose. But then you’d have to worry about keeping that room secure when the teacher is not there. Kids can and do break into rooms.
What I STRONGLY favor is this. Every school should have a couple of armed first-responders, probably trained teachers. There’d be special rooms (more than one!) for them. Each room should have at least two doors. And each room should have monitors connected to cameras.
Say you and I are on one team. You are there first period. Second period, I relieve you while you go teach. Etc. Firearms stay in those rooms.
My plan has drawbacks, I know.
