Where I understand the obvious dangers, there are obvious advantages as well. As we allow them to shape and mold our children’s minds and mindsets for a high percentage of their youth, I feel that we have already entrusted them with a large enough responsibility to justify trusting some of them with the responsibility of safeguarding our children in the case of so… Here’s another thread where I go into how we should arm teachers but becoming a teacher should involve high level self defense training. I mean seriously, education is a silent weapon and if we are going to trust these people with educating our future, then we best be able to trust them with a firearm. As it stand right now in a broken educational system turned weapon, I wouldn’t trust half of these crazies teaching in our public schools with a firearm. Fundamental changes in the training and hiring of these teachers is necessary. In short, avoid public schooling at all costs. This country was shaped and carried on the backs of homeschooled men. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.usconcealedcarry.com/t/focusing-on-the-wrong-things/95041)._
