Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?

No increase police presence

no this could increase school shootings

No, hire qualified veterans.

No, we should instead focus on why school shootings occur.

No, ban all privately owned firearms

Not only should teachers be allowed, but anyone who has their RPAL

Everyone should be able to carry a gun for personal protection (provided they can pass the RPAL course)

No this is Canada not America. You want to ensure safety in schools educate people that American culture is not Canadian culture. Educate people to stop emulating American rappers/celebrities. Do whatever necessary so that it's parents that raise their children not American media.

HELL NO you’ll just have more accidents. Hire professionals and again, school bu school case by case. But NEVER the teachers carrying, no way.

Hire guards but still don’t introduce firearms

It should be up to the individual if they passed their gun safe test.

Not really too much of an issue in Canada

Only if all the students can carry one as well

yes but in order to have a gun in school it hase to be locked away in a safe place and they need proper training with a gun.

No, this would increase the risk of an accidental shooting but the school should hire trained security guards instead

have volunteer teacher's that take a extensive training course and the firearm to only be a pistol and it has to always be stored in a safe box in the teachers desk.

No, any firearms not for hunting should be outlawed in Canada. If there are no guns, there is much less need for a gun.

Yes, Only if the entire population is also allowed withstanding current licensing, training, testing and continuous vetting.

Yes, but the guns should be in a lock box hidden in a cupboard in the classroom only the teacher can access with a key. Therefore 2 locks (a lock and a code) to access the gun. Never openly carried. Always locked until there is an emergency like a lockdown.

No, but teachers in possible high-risk rooms should be allowed to have tasers after doing a very strict personality and safety test

No. Implement stronger gun control

Yes as long as they are proficient with a firearm

No. Teachers should not be allowed to carry guns at school. It would lead to accidental shootings schools need trained security guards and students need quality access to mental health care to help prevent school shootings.

No, maybe security outside could have a fire arm but there is no place for a gun in a classroom full of children.

Yes, with extensive training and frequent mental health-checks with the school councillors.

I think if the teacher is capable of protecting themselves without the use of the guns then yes. But one kick to the sack or a bonk on the head then the teacher goes down. Now the criminal has access to a weapon that he/she did not bring into the school

No, as teachers are meant to teach and guns aren't going to help with that. If armed protection is required, then hire professional security guards

Increase police presence near schools

No increase Police presence in high crime areas

No but increase police presence in high crime areas

If a specific school is in a dangerous area then security guard type personnel should be armed around school.

No as some teachers are pyshco's

No, and tighten gun restrictions. This isn’t the U.S.

WTF is even that question dude ?!

No but, all staff should be trained to self defend and manage groups in a crisis.

Assign police to schools to ensure security

Loosen claymore laws

Yes. They should be required to open carry and be certified safe if they choose to do so.

No, guns should not be allowed in schools

I do not believe in Canada we need to do this. Criminals and illegal gun possession should be dealt with in accordance with the law

Schools should decide whether or not teachers are allowed to bring their guns to school

Yes and Students also

Yes, but allow each state and district to decide

Having a cop in school to interact with the students, but also trained and armed. This will help the students have a better relation with cops.

No, pay them more instead

No, FIX THE GUN LAWS!!!

No, because this would increase the risk of accidental shootings, so we should hire professionally trained security guards instead

This should be decided by the school in question whether to allow or deny.

yes, but it should not be publicly known to anyone but the school board and police as well as should have to do mandatory monthly training and should only be volunteered for
