"If all else fails and my child is sitting in a classroom with some psycho coming through that door, I want my child behind that teacher, and I want that teacher equipped to do something to help themselves, which is also going to help my child," said Adam Cohen, whose two kids are enrolled in Okeechobee County schools."

It's amazing that this solution wasn't obvious to everyone.

The State is now placing our children under the barrels of their guns in classrooms.
Fortunately - teachers in Florida have been bastions of solid behavior and good decision making!
I understand the thoughts. Not sure where I stand on this. I'd say this shouldn't be an issue because "2nd Amendment" but we'll see.
The first time a teacher goes off and kills kids, or kills a kid defending themselves....we'll see how this goes.

Israel doesn't seem to have an issue with their teachers being armed.

Israel also does not have a problem with compulsory military service for all citizens. So, every teacher is also a trained military member.

I would imagine any teacher wishing to carry will be trained similarly to the Guardian Program. I don’t recall how many hours it consisted of off hand but I’ll guestimate 40 hours.
