What happens if a couple of kids decide to overpower a teacher and take their gun from them?

Again, when professionals deal with these situations, they don't just send one person in to fire back, they secure areas and methodically work their way towards the gunmen (any situation not just schools).

What happens if the professionals arriving at the scene just see a person firing/holding a gun and have a split second to make a decision?

They had an armed guard at columbine, they had armed guards in Florida.

But yno **** logic.
Also, do teachers actually want to be armed? Has anyone even asked them if they'd be ok with that?

That's not what I'm asking and it's also a guess on your part. I'd like to know their actual opinions on the proposal

Nearly every teacher I've talked to thinks the idea of having armed teachers in the classroom is insanely absurd and would cause them to quit the profession

...it would be the same in any profession, wouldn’t it Macie...yeah, I’ll give you the waiter../..waitressing job, just carry this gun under the tray at all times in case of crazy customers who might open fire on you at any moment...yes ok, that sounds all very reasonable to me, I feel quite safe and assured now, how very thoughtful...well don’t thank me, thank Mr Trump...

That's not at all surprising, such a ridiculous idea

It's going to get to a stage where America will be like a crazy apocalyptic place where every citizen , including kids carries a weapon of their choice from guns to knives you name it anything they can get their hands on .

It will be every man for themselves like the world is going to end , people will justify bashing someone's brain out as "self defense" .utter carnage !! . Schools are suppose to feel safe for students ,but if teachers carry guns then it's going to make kids feel uneasy .

Well of course they do. Everyone knows that Mr Davies in 2nd period geography is desperate to pop a cap in a couple of homeboys asses.

Yeah, that was my initial thought. Can't think of many teachers who go into the profession on the fact that one day, maybe, Tommy will go crazy and they can then do their best hero impression and save the school.

Its a massive responsibility to put on someone and would never work for the multiple reasons already discussed in this thread.

Yeah, when I heard it first I thought, ah come on that's absolute madness, I'm actually shocked that some people think it's a great idea tbh
