Rubber pistols in Sarasota, Florida, nearly a month after Newtown.
Taught by firearms instructor Mike Magowan (center), who uses a rubber training pistol.
Can you imagine when I saw this, these teachers my from my school!
Disturbing? At least they care enough and are learning to protect their students. This is pretty awesome!
Using blue or red dummy guns are a part of standard firearms training. There’s nothing disturbing about the pics other than the posters incredible lack of knowledge of a subject they are trying to mock. Heaven forfend someone much less a teacher learn to not be a victim and actually be able to defend themselves and others.
This is a good thing. Shouldn’t teachers learn to protect their students? Get off your high horse and grow the f*ck up.
You must not have any children, or if you do, they most be in a super awesome school. Because my children have been to two elementary schools and easily I can pick out 5-10 school teachers who struggle teaching their curriculum and managing energetic 6, 7 & 8 year olds. I wouldn’t DARE trust them with a deadly weapon to store properly and shoot accurately. You are clearly disconnected from the REAL world.
Not to be totally a jerk, but these teachers realize that they would be potentially shooting the kid, no? These school shooting have been done largely by kids, although Adam Lanza was a young adult.
Explain how HOPING a school teacher who can barely get her kids in line can be trusted to NOT shoot a student, or the teacher who forgets everything FORGETS to lock the gun so that students can’t get to it. Sure, in an IDEAL FANTASY WORLD, this would be a no brainer, but in the REAL world where not all teachers are awesome, where some are old and beyond their retirement, where some are too young and can’t manager energetic little beings, or some are just completely stupid, really… REALLY? Do you REALLY think that is a good idea?
