HiBC, I agree that teachers are more than capable of developing those skills. However, I should mention that I was an intern in NY, where the vast majority of teachers I know have no real desire to carry a weapon, and therein lies the problem. If someone is reluctant to carry, they likely will not practice, and then we have someone who is armed, be it an LEO or a teacher, who probably shouldn't be. Your point that we can allow teachers who have the skills, or the desire to obtain them, to be armed is well taken.
