Just curious. How much would these armed teachers get paid?

If they have a carry permit, and they want to carry in school, what can it cost??
As Jerry stated, I would rather be locked in a class with a armed teacher, than with one throwing papers at the bad guy!!
It’s already legal for conceal carry permit holders to carry on college campuses in TN. The issue I’m finding is the holders of tenure are largely “anti-gun” and of course contract instructs want a chance at tenure. They must go through those key holders for the proper paperwork to legally carry on campus. If it’s not one thing it’s a hundred others. I know several tenured professors who indeed carry. They bulk I know...note I said I KNOW...I can’t speak for all, don’t carry. They count on campus police.
I find that laughable knowing how the Office of Disability Services works.
It costs the college nothing extra other than filing the proper paperwork. The professor has to pay for the training and their weapon.
For those who want 3 or 4 police in each school, are you willing to pay the much higher taxes that would be needed?
That's why i asked if they had time for this.Originally Posted by dlewis10
They are off all summer.
That's ridiculous but I won't ridicule you. It doesn't take a full time professional arms handler to be safe and effective in an emergency. To answer your question yes they absolutely can in a surprisingly short time.
Thats a joke!
There is always something to do.
CC permits to my knowledge don't use psych tests or full background checks. Who pays if or when a cc permit holder or LEO shoots someone by mistake?
I’m sure this will come off wrong and I will get flamed .. but do you know any officers ? Ask them how many times they go to the range ... I know a lot of officers .. none of them belong to a gun club and the only shooting they do is forced training and certifiying .. one exception is an officer i know who is on swat and he trains 3 days a year ..they bring in an 18 wheeler here for certification and they all line up and are done in 2 minutes .. they also have the campus police certify at the same time and one of them shot him self in the foot
Our police department doesn’t even have a range and we are the second largest city in the state !
My wife is a teacher at a private school. If it came to where they were going to have to carry, she would need a lot of training. She has shot guns before but is not very comfortable around them. That being said, how many of us that carry could always use more defensive and firearms training?

Yeah a lot of teachers go to different conferences during the summer. I’m sure they could squeeze some time in for training if they wanted to carry at school. A lot of jobs require training each year. I don’t see why teachers couldn’t squeeze that in.
Cc permit they don’t check your back ground ?? Man the rest of the states must have a lot easier requirements than we do
Around these parts shooting is a pastime. Something that is to be done before supper on a summer weekend. I know a lot of officers do not know their way around a gun but a lot of them do. Heck most of the population is well practiced.
Depends on the state. Some have permitless carry, some issue with just a fee paid, and some do a background check, fingerprints, and require training. In TN concealed permit requires the latter. No reason for those folks can't coordinate with the school to be allowed to carry.
That is terrible. The first agency i worked for required yearly certification 8 hours in class and 8 hours on the range. The second agency required Quarterly certification 8 hours class time and 8 hours range time.
I really don't think schools need to rely on teacher being the security for the school. Not everyone can pull the trigger when needed. Teachers need the option to protect themselves and should be vetted just a little more than the average CC holder, but at least given the opportunity. Security should be hired at all schools based upon building size and pupil count. Access in the mornings should be limited but enough to accommodate entering without long lines. At the end of the day teachers can open more exit gates to minimize congestion. Over time these things can be worked out.

Not to the depth of LEO background checks, at least here anyways.
I believe pilots have a one day training twice a year.
Ill double check it it might be once a year!
Here to get a permit it was 4 hours of class .. back ground check fingers prints and still at the discretion of the chief of police for the town or city you live in .. and it was a 6 month wait to get it by the time the paper work went to feds first then sits on the chiefs desk waiting for him to sign off
Wife and I go to the range a minimum of 20 times a year .. and usually bring new people with us every time .. have helped 18 people get comfortable enough to get their CCW
