[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I only want combat veterans  to become armed teachers.  That would be really good. [/quote]

Because having been in combat in Iraq or Afghanistan (or wherever) trains you to react appropriately to a school shooter in the school you're teaching in?[/quote]
No, because the PTSD really gives them that edge.

Actual combat vets I know have been posting about what a terrible idea this is, talking about the realities of a firefight in a building--the confusion, the crossfire, the noise.  [/quote]

I can't imagine a combat vet with PTSD even wanting to conceal carry in a school.  They might teach in the school knowing that the likelihood of a school shooting is small but they shouldn't ever be put in the position of carrying a weapon in the school.

I can see how a person with training as a police officer, MP, FBI agent, etc might be good to have in the schools in a non-distracting, not so obvious way.  Just knowing that there might be school staff with that sort of highly skilled training within the school might be reassuring to the students and the rest of the staff  It also might serve as a deterrent to these shooters.[/quote]

Like the officers who stood outside the school in Florida while mass carnage was taking place inside?[/quote]
