Teachers ,cops , postal workers same thing. Just people with guns.

what's your angle here?
God Bless Tennessee! Hat's Off To a State with Balls to Fight Back!
Good, not that worried about that. Im in GA and on college campuses we are allowed to be armed in classes 🙃
Most teachers are too emotional to carry .
The 40 hours of training is only one stage of the required training process under this new Tennessee law, and it is more hours that the training requirement for a police officer to get SWAT certification in Tennessee. The first step in the required training process is to get an Enhanced Handgun Carry Permit from the state of Tennessee, which involves a class, written test, range qualification, fingerprinting, photo, and background checks. After that, the applicant moves on to mental health screening, another background check, the 40 hours of training related to "policing of schools", then getting authorization from their principal, the chief administrator of their school system, and their local chief law enforcement officer (police chief or county sheriff). If any of those three people refuse to give any teachers the required authorization, then there will be no armed teachers in their school (in the case of the principal refusing) or their school system.
Warning shots are illegal in Tennessee. Machineguns have been heavily restricted by federal law since 1934, and in 1986 Congress passed a ban on civilian possession of any machinegun that was not already registered in the ATF's files before the ban took effect, placing a permanent limit on the number of machineguns that can be legally privately owned.
Last summer, the same people that were protesting against this bill at the Tennessee legislature, were opposed to putting police officers in schools that did not already have police officers assigned to them, opposed to improvements to the physical security of school buildings (funding for upgrading the entrance doors, security cameras, and other security measures), and opposed to police officers entering schools when they were off-duty. Some of the opponents of this Tennessee law have openly stated over the last year that even police cannot be trusted to carry guns near children. The Nashville school system created a "safety ambassador" program, where an unarmed person walks around the school checking doors to make sure they are closed and locked, because of the number of Nashville school principals that were refusing to allow police officers to be assigned to their schools, two years ago. Not only were they concerned about the children being traumatized by seeing a police officer in their school, they did not want to risk children being traumatized by referring to the new person at the school as a "guard", instead of an "ambassador".
Stupidity. This is when conservatism goes wrong.
In my humble opinion it would be better to hire security teams *_with military or police experience in actual, deadly encounters who would carry themselves well under fire_* .
Who's going to pay for it? Security isn't cheap.
Off the top of my head, I can recall two of my teachers who were not only former military but were also combat veterans. When I got to college, quite a few of my professors were former military, with several of them having been combat veterans.
@@paulstevens7528 That is great! Wish there were more.
OMG you can solo an airplane with less than forty hrs of training.
Last I heard, the average was somewhere around 10 hours.
@@paulstevens7528 more like 20 to 25 hrs so to solo then I think 40hrs to get your private.
What could go wrong...
This is stupid and will fail.
They should be focused on activities for the kids actual learning one on one counseling when did more cops ever help
or one policeman for the whole school , and he can be in all classes at once ! HUH ? WHA ?
Criminals don't care about the law. Criminals pick easy gun-free targets like schools. The best rule is don't say anything about guns, yes or no. Nobody has to know. Nobody is being forced to carry a gun.
All them children that is emotional because of SINGLE MOTHERHOOD you better be on your best behavior. 😮😮😮
That’s just what my teacher always needed…this isn’t going to be good 😒
We need a huge, walk in gun safe, in the back of every class room. 😂
😊
I swear this whole channel is parody news 😂
