Teacher accidentally fires gun in classroom, students injured
- Thread starter Quetzal
- Start date
I'd stress scenario re-enactment.
Not only should safe gun handling be a reaction, but so should reaction to likely threats.
Virtual reality should play a major role.
There should be communication systems in place for cops & school staff
to alert each other to the situation. These days, everyone has cel phones,
& staff should have a designated contact such emergencies.

No, but I got pretty dusty a few times.Did you ever throw the eraser back at him?
When I first read the title by the news media, I go into "Something does't quite look right". How can a teacher fire a gun? With today's twisting of news, and the issue about "teachers with guns" -- I wondered if it was slightly adjusted so I researched it some:
Teacher, reserve officer, accidentally fires gun at Calif. school
First, I will agree that teaching about guns in a classroom isn't quite the correct setting BUT
It wasn't a simple "teacher" but rather a reserve officer.
So I ask:
- Why did the title of the news feed fail to mention that?
- Was there an motive because of personal preference by the news media?

Stop ruining a good story with facts. Sheesh!
When I taught I kept a gun in my desk drawer at all times ... just behind the stapler. Those little _______ s wouldn't do their homework, and needed extra motivation. It worked well in Phys-Ed too. Kids actually ran during warm-up. One tree hugging parent came onto complain so I shot her. She never complained again.

Training has nothing to do with it...Accidental shootings happen when teachers were walking

Was this a poor attempt at a joke?

Idaho professor accidentally shoots himself in the foot in chemistry class
An Idaho State University assistant professor with a concealed-carry gun permit shot himself in the foot with a semiautomatic handgun that accidentally discharged from inside his pocket in a chemistry classroom full of students, police said on Wednesday......
Idaho’s Republican-led legislature passed the law allowing guns on university grounds earlier this year over the objection of the presidents of the state’s leading universities, including Idaho State, which was routinely ranked as one of the safest campuses in the United States.

Yea, it is written in the Book of Cyril...
More guns will fix this!

And who pays for the training and maintenence of competencies?
That would fall on tax payers, that is my guess.
Do you think training and repeated exposure will decrease the chances of accidents occurring?
Some might, others might not.
There's just something contradicting with teachers being peace enforcers at the same time.
I haven't found the right language to describe this but seeing this profession evolve to that similar to that of a police or military just doesn't seem right. Not to mention this is being done in an environment where toddlers, kids and teenagers frequent.
Has our culture changed so much, that schools are basically some urban war zone now?
Just to entertain this idea of arming the teachers falls right into the NRA's philosophies.
So instead of changing the environment, the environment forces the solution of adding more guns to the environment.
The problem is that people that shouldn't own guns are owning guns. That is the root issue. Fix that instead of potentially letting more people own guns that shouldn't own guns.

I think you hit the nail on the head. The culture has changed!
So schools are parenting instead of teaching and protecting instead of educating while parents stand by as baby sitters. It's the government that is gaining more and more control and becoming the parents... isn't that the beginnings of communism where they asked for you children for 6 years so that they could indoctrinate them?
