"Ashland, Ore. - In court documents, she's known as 'Jane Doe.' Innocuous
enough, but the woman behind that pseudonym pushes one of the nation's hottest
political buttons: guns and school safety. What Ms. Doe wants to do is take her
Glock 9-mm pistol to the high school in Medford, Ore., where she teaches. She's
licensed to carry a concealed weapon and she has what many supporters say is a
legitimate reason for being armed: a restraining order against her ex-husband
based on threats he's allegedly made against her and her children. "
This is a bit off the topic at hand, but at the same time not. If one of the teachers in Virgina Tech had a gun, maybe lives could have been saved. At the same time, if there is going to be a gun in a classroom, how do you secure it to make sure that it doesn't get into the students hands. Couldn't a kid get a hold of a teachers gun, and take out either other students or them self in a rage. Guns are a touchy issue all together, how much of a danger to they present by being present as opposed to how much safety is generated in their defensive capacity.
As for this teacher, if she is so concerned about her safety, maybe she shouldn't be teaching right now. Take a vacation until this is over, if she is in danger at school, she is putting her students in danger - even if she doesn't have a gun.
