It’s certainly less comprehensive than police training, and even that is lacking.
No amount of training makes up for the police standing outside not doing anything.
The type of teacher who wants to carry in a school is probably going to do a lot more training than the bare minimum.
Are you earnestly saying that you think gun owners are all responsible and well trained?
I'd bet instead that the main people who are going to carry in schools are going to be shitheads that replace their personalities with guns and who will mainly use them to threaten students. This gives any wannabe authoritarian a great big green checkmark to carry a deadly weapon around kids.
No one believes that or is saying that. "All Gun Owners" aren't even in this conversation so why are you talking about them? We're discussing a subset of "All Gun Owners". These will be the ones who have permits and training, you know...the things that most people on Lemmy continually advocate for to help make sure that all gun owners are responsible gun owners.
Yes, exactly. Just like how everybody with a driver's license is a well-trained and certified driver.
Or, like with police, the opportunity to carry a gun around like a badass will attract the wrong people to the job, and we'll end up with teachers pulling guns on students for not treating them as deferentially as they'd like.
