An Oregon high school teacher wants to be able to pack heat due to a restraining order against an ex-husband, who has allegedly made threats to her and her children.

If I were a parent, I could see it a lot of ways. The teacher has a right to defend herself against her potentially violent ex-husband. The teacher also has a right to defend herself against potentially violent students (at least at the high school I attended). But I can also see the concern of students attempting to steal the pistol from her (although I acknowledge it’s not as likely if she has a license, and presuming that she would keep it on her at all times).

I mean, I can understand the school’s policy of not wanting ANYONE who isn’t a law enforcement officer to bring firearms on campus. But I also can’t say that if I were the teacher that I would entrust school security to respond appropriately to my safety or that of my children and students.

Thoughts?
