    What I think... Teachers should not have guns because what if a kid got caught in a crossfire of the guns. Another reason that teachers should not carry guns is like at a high school kids if they got left in a room Unattended and the teacher the the gun in the desk and the kid knew it and the kid got ahold of the gun.

Whereas, having a trained permit holder in the classroom who is experiencing the shots first hand could slow or stop the attack (Students for Concealed Carry on Campus 173).
