Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?

Yes, and get a professional security guard or cop as well

Yes, if they are experienced, trained and wish to.

Yes and Students also

Yes, but allow each state and district to decide

No, Teachers should never have guns in Schools

Yes, provided that they are properly trained, but I would prefer that schools hire professionally trained on-site security guards instead.

Having a cop in school to interact with the students, but also trained and armed. This will help the students have a better relation with cops.

No, pay them more instead

Yes, but I would prefer security

No, school faculty needs more training in basic security

No, FIX THE GUN LAWS!!!

Yes, with increased gun-ownership responsibility

Yes, if properly trained and certified

No, because this would increase the risk of accidental shootings, so we should hire professionally trained security guards instead

Yes, all teachers should be required to carry a gun and know how to use it.

This should be decided by the school in question whether to allow or deny.

yes, but it should not be publicly known to anyone but the school board and police as well as should have to do mandatory monthly training and should only be volunteered for

yes, but they should be required training and have a place to put it.

Yes, schools should require at least one teacher or security guard to be armed, but they must be professionally trained

NO, teachers should not be allowed to carry guns at school because teachers come to school to teach to educate the students not to carry violence around the campus.

No, hire professionally trained security guards instead of giving random teachers guns so that there will be a much more unlikely chance of any accidental shootings happening

yes but locked in a safe

Yes, but only if the teachers volunteer and are required to receive proper training and a thorough background check and Psych evaluation.

Yes, but only if the teachers volunteer and are required to receive proper training.

Mixed views

Yes, if they are highly trained.

No, leave the firearms to school resource officers

No, why should this question even be allowed!?

yes, as long as they have monthly to bi-monthly training

No, this question is absurd

There are both pros and cons to this situation

I think that we should even consider that is insane

Yes, as long as they are out of reach of students

Yes, mutiple teachers after extensive training and safety checks

Allowed, yes. Required, no. We need to focus on empowering our teachers to teach and focus on reducing the causes of school shootings rather than stopping them once they start.

yes but teachers music go through heavy training and 2-3 teachers in higher risk hallways should have guns and and then 1 in each hallway

No, this poses a possible danger for students

I don't think teachers should, but security guards should.

yes as long trained right

If it's Ms. Dowen, then no.

maybe. it depends

if teachers feel like they need to

Yes, schools should let teachers carry guns but only if they deem it is necessary - should have safety on and/or out of site during school

Yes, yet only for a security guard.

i would say yes because you never know because if there was a school shooting teachers would be there to help out but at the same time its a risk of there lives so no at the same time.

yes, but only with proper training

Yes, with a proper training course such as a concealed carry course.

Depending on the area of the school yes

I believe it sounds like a good idea, but no in a teachers hand. We have policemen who would love to keep our schools safe.
