But, if a teacher takes it upon themself to carry in a school setting, they would best be served by receiving LE level certification for weapons use.

I agree with that requirement.

However, after having shot along side of LEOs (Law Enforcment Officers), and having friends who are LEOs themselves, The basic qualification requirements are usually pretty low. The week(s) leading up to the yearly qualification dates can be vary scary times at the local ranges.

Lets face it, LEOs come from all walks of life. As such, their own skills with firearms vary greatly. I've shot with those who could barely hit the broad-side of a barn...from the inside......to those who are among the top shooters in the country, with many more in the former category, than the latter.

Obviously some sort of training/qualification needs to be in place, I would just hope it would be more than just a cursory class.

But I'd rather have a relative novice with some kind of gun, than an expert without, cowering in the corner of the class room...while some nut is in the school.

I hope this idea spreads across the country....soon!
