Victory in St. Helens, Oregon: Teachers can carry their guns in school.

Oregon is more than Portland:

“The school board in St. Helens, OR voted  4-1 to allow teachers with concealed carry permits to carry firearms into the classroom.

Under Oregon law, persons with permits may already carry into schools, but some school boards had policies in place to prevent school employees from doing so. This vote simply lifted that ban.

According to ABC News,

“The current law in Oregon allows for anybody to concealed carry on school grounds,” [School Board chairman Marshall Porter] said. “To exclude our staff seems like they’re being punished. They should have a right to protect themselves if they so choose.”

Based on feedback from the school board, the feedback from parents has been mostly positive, with only 1 parent writing to express their displeasure at the decision.

Take that liberals, you have your victories, we have ours.

 

How to bring your gun to school.

The New York Times wrote an interesting article about how law-abiding teachers are bringing their guns in school.

“CLARKSVILLE, Ark. — The slim, black 9-millimeter handguns that the school superintendent David Hopkins selected for his teachers here weigh about a pound and slip easily into a pocket. Sixteen people, including the janitor and a kindergarten teacher, wear them to school every day

….

Without money to hire security guards for the five schools he oversees, giving teachers nearly 60 hours of training and their own guns seemed like the only reasonable, economical way to protect the 2,500 public school students in this small town in the Ozark foothills.

In Georgia and Missouri, guns can be on campus as long as they are in a locked car. In Massachusetts, Louisiana and Nevada, a teacher can carry a gun on campus with written permission from school officials.

Hawaii and New Hampshire do not have any prohibition against weapons on school property for those with concealed-carry permits

And for more than a dozen years in Utah, anyone with a permit to carry a concealed weapon can take a loaded gun to school without even telling the principal.”

Of course, they had to find the one teacher that hates freedom:

“If I had a gun in my room with some of these students where I taught? They’d get it from me and shoot me,” he said. “They’d say, ‘Mr. Gunter, you gave me an F? Here’s your F.’ ”

Really Mr. Gunter? For that to happen they would have to have their hands inside your pants, so unless you’re molesting our kids, you have nothing to worry about. Cops carry guns with outside holsters, when was the last time someone took a gun from them?

Damn unarmed fool.
