South Dakota Governor Signs Law Allowing Teachers To Be Armed In Classrooms

I doubt the teachers will be paid more for the added responsibilty of being armed guards in the classroom. Also, there will probably be additional courses and a screening process (we don't want just anyone strapped with a pistol in our childs classroom). Look at how much screening and courses you need to be a coach now days. Add guns to the mix. Seems like a big headache considering the odds.

Also, if my job required me to be armed, for my personal safety, and I'm not in a war zone or a policeman. I don't think I want the job.

Unbelievably, the NRA is winning in America and common sense and progression is losing.

Seriously though guys, what could possibly happen to make this a bad idea? I see absolutely no downside to doing this! It's zero risk!
