Oregon Teacher Wants To Bring Gun To School

protection from both her abusive ex-husband and the spate of school shootings that have plagued the country for the last few years, a teacher has challenged the local school district for the right to carry her Glock to school. Shirley Katz argued that since she has a concealed weapon permit, and Oregon allows those with permits to carry guns into buildings, she should be allowed to bring her weapon on school grounds. While saying that she necessarily would bring the gun on school property, she says she just wants to know that she can, should she feel the need.

Apparently, the students are a little, uh, slow when it comes to basic reasoning:

Some South Medford students say they are uncomfortable with the idea of a teacher carrying a gun, especially since they cannot bring even scissors to school.

“I totally understand she wants to protect herself,” said Lauren Forderer, 16, a junior. “But I don’t agree she should bring her problems around 2,000 other people.”

Uh, yeah. YOU’RE A MINOR. The teacher is an adult. They don’t want you carrying scissors because they don’t want you stabbing Brittinny Jenkins in the throat when you get your thong in a bunch because she called you a slut.

Lauren Forderer would eat those fucking words, if say, the teachers husband rampaged the school and busted in the classroom. I can see it now: crazy ex-husband has a gun to Lauren’s head. Lauren looks to her (unarmed) teacher with a pleading expression. The teacher just shrugs as the deranged madman pulls the trigger at point blank range. Sucks to be you.

What say the rest of you? Should she be allowed to carry the gun on school property?

Allowed! Allowed! All teachers and teaching assistants should be REQUIRED now-a-days to carry a firearm. Provided they get the right training, maintain a course grade and get refresher in the summer (they have the time).

I Ran a YMCA youth dept. in Brooklyn and ended up quitting because it was just too bad an area. Last I heard they were hiring dregs to work the program because the only people they could get to be in that area after dark (the last kid leaves around 7:00) people who could tolerate the constant threats of violence. I'd of stayed if I could take my piece, but NY suck.
That being said, while I'd personally let a responsible adult carry a register handgun where ever they wanted, the fact that she married some wife beating cock proves she's doesn't have the best judgement. Plus the kids who are nervous may be being tactful, and not saying "That bitch is psycho" to the papers. I don't know, this ones tough.

Oh, and from that same article:

Shirley Katz said she bought her own gun in 2004 after Gerry Katz grabbed her by the throat and threatened to kill her - an allegation he denies.

He argues that her desire to take her gun to school is about reopening their divorce to get exclusive custody of their 6-year-old daughter.

"She's just scamming everybody," he said. "As soon as this thing started ... I called the principal at her high school and told her ... I am not coming to your school. I am not a threat to her. I have no desire to hurt her."

Two sides to every story.

Nah. She made the mistake of marrying an idiot, not the student body. Last thing I want a student to know who may decide to go on a shooting rampage, but doesn't have a gun, is exactly where to find one.
