You really do like to stir the pot!
[QUOTE=kygorski;567506]Two highly trained school teachers, accidently discharged their weapns this week, in the classrooms. I'm assuming that these were mentally stable individuals, who there for the safety of the students. Only two students were injured.Whats going to happen when the "armed teachers" program becomes adopted by all school districts?Heres maybe a better idea, since students are the ones mostly getting shot, why not arm the students????[/QUOTE]
I'll go one better. Arm the janitors too. Or the cooks. You get a gun. Now you get a gun. :)
Serioulsy though this was on the interent and it was one techer. He accidently discharged his firearm into the ceiling and one student got some bullet framgments in his neck when the bullet bounced off the ceiling and fell back down onto the student. It was an accidental. I would say that the man who did this needs some more training. He obviously should not have had his gun out of the holster in the school. The only time you draw your gun is when you are getting ready to use it. And you don't do that inside a school unless there is a need. Definatly was not reason to have that gun out of the holster in the school.
Proper training is the key. Not all police departmetns are properly trained and a lot of policemen that I know were yahoos and trouble makers before they became policmen. One detective that I know was always in trouble with the principle when we were in grammar school together many many years ago. He was smart and bored and was always doing something to get into trouble in school. Yet he rose though the police ranks to become a detective.
Maybe we should do like Israel
[QUOTE=kygorski;567640]Also has compulsary service, and many armed communitys. And a well trained ready reserve. Of course with the neighbors they have, those are matters of life or death.[/QUOTE]
Maybe everyone in the USA should server a few years in the military too.
If they were highly trained this would not have happened
[QUOTE=GeoFisher;567888]Highly trained individuals who accidentally discharge a weapon are NOT highly trained individuals.......PERIOD.[/QUOTE]
Highly trained my ass. These guys didn't have the proper training and have not business with guns if they can't maintain trigger control. It's imperative these days to not only get proper training but to remember their training and use it at all times. These guys evidently didn't do that. Trigger control is imperative especailly when around other people inside a school building filled with children. There is no excuse for an accidental discharge inside a school.
