Teacher hurt when gun accidentally misfires

Thanks to Missouri state legislators' decision to override Gov. Nixon's veto, we may begin hearing about more incidents like this or worse. Teachers carrying guns is a terrible idea.

The school boards in each area already had the right to allow conceal carry holders to carry weapons in the school. This law has several defects in it, including allowing 19 year olds to carry concealed firearms, and they can not legally buy the firearm, or ammunition for it, until they turn 21.

Let me see if I have this right. We have a coach in Springfield who kidnapped, raped and murdered a little girl. We have a former Principal accused of a double murder and any number of rape charges against teachers. Maybe we should arm the students too.

Frustrated parent,
I have a student at the new high school. I am deeply saddened by the quality of education available in the new building.
One of my child's fine art class is held in a concrete wrestling room, and one in a hall adjacent to the ongoing construction.the teachers in these facilities were told this would be their "home" the entire first semester.
I can't imagine how horrid the smell will be in a wrestling room come wrestling season. Plus, I know staph was a huge issue in the wrestling room in the past. This is a horrid place to house a fine arts class.
Next, my child is extremely frustrated with the tech in the building. Seems the district installed inadequate servers to adequately handle the number of devices in the building. Virtually every day this school year, the servers have crashed leaving the teachers and students, unable to hold much of a class since the majority of the material is only available online.
Grew up in joplin. Had several kids go through the system., this is not an acceptable education.

This is rare for something like this to happen, and can happen to anyone including cops! Your opinion that guns don't belong in classrooms is just that opinion! Guns = safety! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=am-Qdx6vky0
