Texas officials about teachers: Arm them!

[mikec]

Hand to hand or better said "Self Defense" and I emphasize "self" comes nothing close to the training I think should be required. All it does is to give the victim confidence and a few tools to escape a rape or mugging. These teachers need to take a yearly coarse in tactical training. At least in hand gun and some class room situational training.

Silly how you think I could back up my previous statements based on basic self defence training...

No, it's not. If you say they need additional training, and then say "I have the ability to help out with that, but I'm not going to" or "that's not the kind of training I was talking about", we have a silly comment. That said, asking you to help solve the problem instead of just downing the idea is not silly.

Just saying that this would be a really awesome way for you to back up your talk on saying that they need better training...

there's no doubt in my mind that my bride would put herself between the kids and an attacker . i also think she would empty her 38 into one if it was there. every time there is an unarmed teacher between the kids and the nut job.

I haven't the time to scratch my own nuts these days. It would be fun though. I just don't think I can be faithful to a scheduled event. I'll concider it.

[BlackSnake]

Hmmm, sounds like we will be scheduling a follow up class...

You in to help further training for about 20 teachers, one day?

Always better to know something than nothing. I have taught a many of those type classes.

Exactly. In one day there is only so much ground that can be covered.

I'm sure its basic "kick'em in the nuts and scratch out the eyes with your keys" type of self defence.

What kind of hand to hand program are they going through? I'm just curious. It's awesome that they're doing this at all let alone gratis!

We are closer to finalizing arrangements for our group of about 20 teachers to go through a free class on pistol training, hand to hand, and CHL licensing. I'm finding it awesome that so many companies are stepping up and offering their classes at no charge to educators.

Texas Weapons Institute out of Killeen is coming all the way up here to Wylie to teach the course, at no charge.

That is great to hear. And cheers to the offers of no charge traning. Keep me informed on how this turns out. It could lead to a more wide spread help for our educaters.

You all can argue till you blue in the face. It still boils down to this. Your kid has a better chance of living through his/her school years IF there are armed personal in place. If you disagree with this you are dumber than a box of rocks!
But it's you kids at risk here, sacrifice them if you will.

Besides, there are schools here in Texas that have armed teachers. If I had school aged kids, that's where I would move to.

I totally agree with you. My only argument in this matter is that there be additional training for the schools to allow teachers to carry on school ground. A second class of CHL, if you will.

The argument presented is that no one will be willing to get the extra training. Much less pay for it. But I think that's wrong also. The ones that actually want to carry will absolutely pay for and get the training. Teachers want to have that option to be able to carry at schools, and something that small is not gonna stop them. After all, they went several years of collage just to teach. What's that compared to a few weekends a year for training, that I may add could also be tons of fun.

knowing your gonna get blasted with bullets if you try some dumb shit will make some of these idiots think twice.

Also, this was Clinton's idea. Liberals loved it then
