What’s if the person “killing your students” is not a student? Would you not protect them? Or would you just volunteer to die for them as they continue to kill after they kill you?
Come on, she wouldn’t sacrifice herself. Someone that full of hate isn’t about to try to save anyone.
Sheesh, lady! You don’t have to!
Well that’s the point of concealed carry, you’re not doing it in front of them.
it’s usually not a student and even so you’d rather let many other innocent kids be killed like the shooter doesn’t know what they’re doing? Your just boosting their KD.
The gun is for anybody harming the students
Well i’m very glad that she doesn’t want to shoot her students.
Protect kids not guns!!
How are you going to protect kids from an armed psycho? With stones?
The gun isnt for shooting the students…….does she really know how how to use one?
Crazy, you love you students so you don’t carry? I love my family so I do carry. Weird where your priorities are.
So just imagine 1 was gonna kill 30 others. Your not killing that 1 even tho he or she is gonna kill 30 others and you. Now cmon she’s stupid
That’s why she is a former teacher. She lacks the intuition to protect the innocent at any cost from someone who is atrociously wicked.
All she’s saying is, in the event of an armed conflict, she would rather shield a child with her body and die doing so. She does not want to go tactical inside a school. We have to respect her choice. We need people like her too. Human shield is valuable, bodyguards do that all the time. Even though they bear arms, they take a bullet more often than inflict wounds on the shooter.
Obviously the best course of action is to make schools more like prisons. Locked the doors and windows everywhere. Metal detectors at all the entrances. Armed guards. Sounds like a great learning environment, right?
If you love them carry a gun
All these teachers are the same. “I love my students.”” I care about my students “. All a load of crap. They got their picks and the rest get pushed aside. Teachers be the first to run if something breaks out. Lord forbid.
Wonder why she has guns only at home. Must only want to protect her own children. Makes sense 🙄
Thank you for your willingness not to shoot the children. I think you’re missing the point.
To put it simply would u shoot ur best friend if they were running around shooting others you cared about? And even if u were able to pull that trigger all you would remember is u killed ur best friend.
If one of your students was shooting other students, would you die for the shooter? Or die for the others?
Or would you instead choose the harder option.
To not die. And not allow innocents to die.
Hard to protect your students AFTER you’ve died for them.
Sorry I disagree
