It may be a rational concern. Many high school students can easily overpower their teachers. Then you have the situation of a female teacher having the weapon in her purse. Where does she stash the purse?

While I am in favor of having concealed carry for teachers, there are real issues that need to be addressed. Having "designated" teachers as approved for carry, sounds pretty cool until you consider that you have just told every student who has the gun. Do they only choose teachers that know Kung foo?

The reason these are not issues with the general population is that people don't know who has a gun. We need to quit acting like fools and get rid of laws forbidding licensed concealed carry on school property.

Another issue... If a federal law forbids carry at schools, can state laws negate them?
