The debate on if teachers may legally carry guns in the classroom or not has been a topic of discussion since the first school shooting. As a future teacher the threat of violence in the classroom is very real. Not only is it a danger for myself, it is a danger for all of the students in the classroom and school as well. One of the best argued reasons for having legally armed teachers in school is for the raised level of protection for the school’s students. President Trump and members of the cabinet have openly promoted the idea of arming teachers in the classroom. In February of 2018 President Trump treated "Armed Educators (and trusted people who work within a school) love our students and will protect them” (Landers, 2018). There are some distracts that have already implemented armed officers, including police officers and teachers, in some states. The audience I hope to reach includes teachers, students, parents, and anyone involved in the inclusion of school safety. School safety is a huge concern for parents sending their kids out, for the students trying to learn in a creative environment, and for the school officials that are in charge of the school.
