Yes. American regressives are recently pushing the idea of arming teachers (so they can shoot any students that are running amok) in the latest attempt to not pass even the slightest bit of gun control legislation.

Many on the American political right have suggested that to prevent school shootings; teachers should be armed with guns.

Memes aside, we had hunter's safety classes in jr high.

Part of the class was actually hunting related, like the laws and regulations and such. The other part was firearm safety, including practical demonstration with unloaded rifles and shotguns

The teacher of the class was actually the shop teacher, and an avid hunter. He said that anyone who passed the test to his satisfaction, he'd take shooting in the woods behind the school. And he did. And he didn't fucking play about the test either. If you missed any of the firearm safety questions, you didn't get to even touch a rifle.

But he took the class out, loaded each rifle himself, and only the rifle or shotgun the student wanted to shoot, one student at a time, and let us actually shoot. It was awesome, even for those of us that had already learned to shoot and/or hunted. Which was damn near everyone lol.

But this was during school hours. He didn't get permission or anything. Just went up to the office the day of, and notified the principal he was taking us out. Which, the principal just shrugged and said that's was fine as long as we were done in time for the next class.

This was in the eighties lol. Times have changed.

Back then, most of the teachers would have hunting firearms in their vehicle depending on the season. By high school, most of the students did too. Nobody ever got shot either.
