They'll feel that way until the shooting starts

So, as usual, HuffPost is up in arms: This time it is because a school district in Texas has allowed some teachers and staff to be armed - and put up a sign announcing it.

But what was interesting, as always was the quote from the obligatory gun-phobe:

"Exponentially more schools have said, 'Thanks but no thanks, we'd rather not have guns on school property,'" Josh Horwitz, executive director of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, told WSJ. "If you talk to most teachers and educators, their response is, let teachers teach and let law-enforcement officers do their jobs."

What does that mean, anyway?  Most schools have not been given a choice on this issue.

And, yes, I am sure the teachers and educators will feel this way until the shooting starts.  Then there will be a great outcry over why we let this happen.  Well, there's your answer. Unless you basically have a LEO unit in every school, then who is going to be there to slow things down in those golden minutes, to hold the ground until the reinforcements come?  No one.

Oh - BTW, I am an educator (and as noted in another post, a certified firearms instructor) and would really prefer that I could be armed so I could protect my staff and students.
