Photo Poll: Should teachers be allowed to carry guns?

Dr. Mary Wilcynski, principal,- Absolutely not, its not going to solve the issues of gun control and mental health issues, arming teachers is not, in my opinion, the way to go about that.
Dr. Mary Wilcynski, principal,- “Absolutely not, it’s not going to solve the issues of gun control and mental health issues, arming teachers is not, in my opinion, the way to go about that.”
Steven Tolly– “I think teachers with the right training, the right backround and intent could possibly do it. However, there is no teacher I know of that has the correct training.”

Zayla Mackrell, fr- “No, because people can still kill people with guns, even if it’s an accident.”

Dr. Wilcynski– “Absolutely not, it’s not going to solve the issues of gun control and mental health issues, arming teachers is not, in my opinion, the way to go about that.”

Lesley Fleer– “No! Are you kidding me? We wouldn’t know whether to use it on you guys or ourselves.”

Nicole Anderson, jr- “I don’t think that every teacher should be allowed to carry a gun, but I do think that it would be smart to have someone that is armed in the school.”

Emma Kieckhaefer, fr- “They should not be able to carry guns because they are supposed to be here to help us not to attack the students.”

Myah McCoy, so- “Personally, I don’t think that’s the smartest idea, because I would feel really uncomfortable in a classroom where I know I’m not the teacher’s favorite.”

Jake Grovert, so- “I think it would be a good thing because if there was ever a school shooting they’d be able to protect us.”

Jonathan Beck– “It’s reasonable; they do it in Israel and it works.”

Logan Ruzicka, so- “I don’t think they should because if a student gets ahold of it and goes on a rampage, he’s gonna kill a bunch of people.”

Juliana Dancer– “I think there are pros and cons, just like there are pros and cons to the situation we have now.”

Nathan Schulte, fr- “I’d be quite frightened.”
