So WHO, told you that.
When did they tell you that ?First as the Original poster alluded to,
“…two highly trained (obis) police officers…” that being a Police Person, one is AUTOMATICALLY,
Skilled, Knowledgeable, Safe, and Trained.
That is
NOT so. Not even Close.
Training for a a specific use of a firearm,
is training for a specific use.
It is just as saying, a Top, ’Trap’ shooting competitor, would Automatically make a Top CAS Shooter.
That is JUST Not so.
Now to the question at hand,
’Teachers’ armed.
The word, ’Teacher’, will mean someone in the School building,
Like, M/F/Teacher/Coach/Principal/Secretary/Janitor/Aid/etc.
In a word,
‘Yes’. After they are Trained, for all the nuances required.
And that means, they accept, and embrace that job.
Just exactly the same as, why you don’t, tell the Liberian, who knows the Dewy Decimal System by heart, never seen a football game, to coach the Football team to a State Championship. And Vis-Versa.
