Guardian Unlimited | World Latest | Wis. Lawmaker Urges Arming Teachers:
MADISON, Wis. (AP) – A state lawmaker, worried about a recent string of deadly school shootings, suggested arming teachers, principals and other school personnel as a safety measure and a deterrent.It might not be politically correct, but it has worked effectively in other countries, Republican Rep. Frank Lasee said Wednesday.
“To make our schools safe for our students to learn, all options should be on the table,” he said. “Israel and Thailand have well-trained teachers carrying weapons and keeping their children safe from harm. It can work in Wisconsin.”
What about McDonald employees? Remember the shooting in California? How about postal workers, or maybe just postal customers? Luby employees? Are they even still in business? University professors? Ministers, Rabies, and Priests? Oh heck, just give everyone guns and then no one is defenseless and stuff like this won’t happen anymore.

Outstanding idea, everyone but criminals and children should be able to choose to be armed.
