[QUOTE="Shoot Summ, post: 2111448, member: 1055"] Thanks for being civil in your replies, I think we all without question agree there is a problem. I think we need to put it in perspective though, lobbying for teachers to carry does as much to fix the problem as the other side lobbying for a hi-cap mag ban, it doesn't fix it, nor does it even start to. The issue is there are too many guns accessible to bad people, I don't know how you fix that. I do know that I do not want to see any further erosion of our rights. I think we have a responsibility as responsible gun owners to help educate others. Almost every week I hear about someone that has a gun stolen, that is another gun in the hands of bad guys, why aren't we securing our firearms? I can personally name at least a dozen people I know that have purchased a gun for "protection" yet they have no idea how to even load the gun. I do my best to help them learn how to be responsible gun owners, but in reality they are not. Others have a gun, but have no intent to use it, merely "scare someone off", may as well just hand it to the BG at that point. So what do we do? I don't have the answer, I do know that Teachers are employees, and that many employers prohibit firearms at work, we have let that happen. Some chose to carry regardless of Employer rules, that is a personal choice that everyone can make, but you have to understand the consequences if you are caught(with or without). So how do we fix the problem? [/QUOTE]
