Dear Is Mise,

How about just answering the question ya flog. The only way your wet dream can be achieved is for teachers to have weapons on their persons in a holstered position ready for immediate access. Is that correct or not?

Steele,

Of course, the teachers would have their pistols holstered on their persons, that's the whole idea, ready and immediate access when needed, just as the Special Constables at Parramatta had holstered pistols when Mr Cheng was brutally murdered.

Had the SCs not been armed it is possible that more people would have been murdered, the murderer had at least another five shots in hand.

Maybe you think that the SCs should not have been armed and that for one of them to shoot the coward dead was a bit over the top?

Dear Is Mise,

Yet in over 80% of shooting incidents in schools in the US a teacher was not initially present to stop it.

If you were really thinking about the kids instead of your fetish why shouldn't they be armed in order to protect themselves?

Steele,

"Yet in over 80% of shooting incidents in schools in the US a teacher was not initially present to stop it."

I do wish that you would give a reference for statements.

Arming the students is not an option as most of them are too young to legally own a gun.

But, once again, what is your solution for a teacher faced by an armed murderer?

Bet that you've never been on the wrong end of a gun and had but a split second to fire first

Dear Is Mise

“A 17-year-old student was charged with attempted murder and other crimes after bringing a gun to West Liberty-Salem High School and firing two shots at 17-year-old student in a bathroom with a shotgun. The victim was injured.”

“An 18-year-old King City High School student was shot outside the school's auditorium. The gunman ran across the school's campus and baseball field, and fled the area.”

“Police say the two teens ages 14 and 16 were involved in a confrontation on the far north end of Union Middle School. The boys got into an argument. The argument lead to a shooting. The 14 year old shot the 16 year old twice. He was sent to the hospital in critical but stable condition.”

“A 16-year-old male student fired at a 15-year-old female classmate that he had briefly dated in the cafeteria of Italy High School. The gunman left the school immediately after opening fire and was arrested.”

“As students were gathering in an open area prior to the start of classes, a 15-year-old student opened fire with a handgun, killing one 15-year-old at the scene, and wounding another who died at a nearby hospital. Eighteen other people were injured, fourteen by bullets and three critically.”

These were all in the last 18 months.

You can do the sums. How many do you see happening in the classroom with a teacher present?

And yes I have been on the wrong end of a firearm, a sawn off shotgun actually, directed under my chin. There is one thing for certain, if I had of tried for a weapon I would be missing my head.

Steele,

Thanks for the reference.

if you take the 's' off 'https', thus

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_shootings_in_the_United_States#2015_to_present

it comes up as an automatic reference, this had me fooled until, I think, Toni mentioned it.

Granted a teacher was not present in those cases but in the other 20% they were and a lot of teachers have died without the chance to defend themselves.

Not a nice experience being on the wrong end, imagine how the teachers must have felt in the instants before they were murdered.
