I can't say I back up the teacher's carrying guns at all. Half of the people who teach in public schools are barely more competent than the students they're teaching. I'm not sure I'd really trust any of them to carry a weapon even if I did think they were smart. Carrying a gun is a big responsibility and unless you've got the brass balls to wield lead and steel, you're gonna get that thing turned on you. Either that or you're going to end up freaking out and shooting someone who was just talking big. I'm completely against this, even with weapon's training.

I'm against this as well, sure it may seem like the 'safe' thing to do, but of course, there are the ever-present dangers of carrying weapons, especially in the hands of, well, anyone really.
Like Mitsuki said, it's choice, and we really have no bloody idea who would make the choice of doing something violent like what happened in VT or Columbine or wherever else. Yes, it would create various problems I think, firepower vs. firepower...
I don't really think that it would send the wrong message for teachers to carry guns, per se, more like it would send too strong a message to everyone involved. It means that the faculty are willing to take a stronger stand against school violence, but it also means that someone or some group out there would tighten up their resolve elsewhere.

Its an idea though
I believe Grimoire was merely jesting when he said that.
Anyway, a better alternative to the situation is having a campus police officer rather than 40 armed teachers. I know that in my high school back in California, we had one.
Having teachers carry weapons in their classroom may pose a threat to students, and it may affect the learning processes and academic abilities of students through distraction and fear. Some may view it as a way to control the students through intimidation, which may cause further tragedy and possibly an uprising of acts of rebellion. In addition, learning would not be as fun anymore. But hey, who said learning was fun anyway?
Now, concerning teachers who would undergo weapons training – I still do not like the idea, as it would just make the situation deadlier, don’t you think? Ponder on that one.

Deadlier because it could possibly bloat up the power of our teachers?
Then yes.
If they were allowed weapon training, I think it would be safe to say that if something goes drastically wrong with a teacher, he or she could just about fight through anything. The power that is allowed a teacher, having a personal weapon, could be presented in other ways than just school safety, especially if they could carry it home.
They could break all sorts of rules with it, I think.
