Yep

And with the worst gun slaughters happening in American schools teachers should be allowed to carry guns to shoot back at students who bring their parents' guns to school.

The idea of armed guards in each classroom is a bit expensive so teachers, after training courses, should carry.

This would also imbue a bit of final respect in minority students who are prone to assault white teachers.

plus.

Thanks for that Is mise. Incidently I like the idea of visibly armed phys Ed teachers in some schools, the ones I would arm wouldn't have a problem demanding attention or compliance with essential rules.

Former drill sergeants who know how to say what they mean and mean what they say would do? (hup 2,3,4! Face the front and keep the hands out of pockets.)

Non compliance with reasonable and essential rules or drug dealing, failing a metal detector examination etc/etc. Should result in unavoidable consequences, like say a few months in a survival type boot camp and having no choice but to march from point A to point B, and back via a circuitous and diabolical zig zag route, carrying your essential survival equipment on your back, inside the allowed time, lest the entire course be repeated?

In any event the proposed guns and their holsters should be equipped with a with a personal bio mechanical safety, which should mean, only the owner of the, normal body temperature, identifying fingerprints/DNA could pull and then use the weapon?

Which could just as easily carry a mag full of 15 50 cal non lethal bean bags as lethal rounds, or some combination which would come into play as a last possible resort. After all the non lethal rounds had been expended?

Even then, the non lethal rounds would still be lethal at close point blank range! Something that could be demonstrated on non living material to reinforce the respect they should invoke?

If uniforms and load affirmative instructions, could assist with reasonable compliance issues, why not?

Hi Rhrosty

Yeah plastic bullets and sand filled shot gun shells can do wounders for democratic encouragement.

Boot camps that teaches micreants how to kill, shoot and unarmed combat is also good (but not really).

Army bootcamp training as an alternative to prison is frequently suggested by ignorant men and many women who don't know any better.

Many in the Australian Army disliked being basic trainers for national servicemen (1965-72) as it lowered average infantry skills overall. Hence the totally different philosophy of repeat tour special forces in hot spots these days.
