Originally posted by Adrift View PostI don't follow. It sounds the same to me. Nothing in the phrase "putting guns in the hands of staff" implies that everyone gets a gun.
"Staff" is a very general term - not every "staff member" would be considered, or qualify.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

No, your memory is correct in that regard. Advocating that "specially trained staff members" are armed is still "putting guns in the hands of the staff".Last edited by RumTumTugger; 02-22-2018, 04:36 PM.

And, yet again....
Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostIn my case, it would only be those teachers who wanted to, were qualified, and trained.... like the coach who was also "security" whose only 'weapon' was his body.

That was in response to somebody proposing open carry, and you'll note that I say WHICH teachers - indicating not all.
Again --- "making sure the "trained" part is actually true" --- not just "putting guns in the hands of staff"
And, yet again....
ONLY those teachers ... not just "putting guns in the hands of staff".
I was VERY restrictive, not the goofy GENERAL statement "putting guns in the hands of staff". I'm surprised a man of you caliber would even think these are equivalent.
