I can predict what is going to happen before schools truly buy in to arming teachers.In the states where this passes, most rural schools will eagerly adopt this policy.  The large districts and wealthier districts will refuse to allow teachers to carry. A shooting will occur at a school that denied teachers the right to carry. The family of the slain kids/teachers will have lawyers chomping at the bit to get ahold of the case and sue the district out of existence. Schools, being desperately afraid of lawsuits, will then allow teachers to carry to prevent future litigation.  I know of districts where superintendents are already saying "no" and refusing to consider this notion. We need to be calling and writing our superintendents and telling them not only do we support the legislation, but we demand our teachers be given the tools to protect our kids. And we need to start now. The more school staff we can get on our side, the more pull we have.</blockquote>
