Gun Expert Lott: Let Teachers Carry Arms, Ban Gun-Free Zones to Halt Mass Shootings

Interview with Dr. Lott on the myth of gun free zones

Interesting read. I have a feeling this incident might bring changes in favor of the 2A. Only time will tell.

I agree with Mr. Lott. Removing legal requirements for gun free zones at schools, etc. should be a legislative priority. We should do it for the sake of the children.

Great article. Thank you for posting. I only wish I could get all my friends to read it.

This Dr. Lott has done his research!

 

[dukeboy_318]

Yes he does. I studied Dr Lott in college. His gun control and crime studies have been proven to be the most accurate done to date.

As hard as they have tried a lot of the anti-gun public health researchers haven't really been able to poke holes in his research as much as they try.

I would be all for teachers carrying guns, providing they are well trained, and required to qualify each year.

I would be all for citizens carrying guns, providing they are well trained and required t.... Wait, what?

I have always felt this was a better option that banning firearms. This article just puts the facts to my feeling. Great article and thanks for posting.

Nothing wrong with training. We all think we are better than we really are, myself included. I just wouldn't want to see a shoot out with children in the crossfire.

I too am all for training. I am not all for the .gov requiring us to train.

While I agree that the general populace should not be required to undergo any type of training in order to carry a firearm, I do agree that should schools adopt a teacher carry policy, it would be wise for them to require carrying teachers to train and test on a regular basis. This is not a violation of constitutional rights, it's akin to police officers being required to pass certain standards and train at certain intervals.

Note: I do not think that these rules should apply to non employed visitors to schools. Only those who are employed by the school. Then it doesn't become an issue of law, but of school policy.

I agree with this. I see it as requiring police officers to train and qualify. The teachers would be responsible for child protection, thus they need to be trained and qualified.

To the OP:

Hopefully you will log back in before 8pm Eastern and update your OP with a link. It looks like Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, Dr. John Lott, Larry Pratt from Gun Owners of America, and historian/author Clayton Cramer will be on Armed American Radio tonight. You shouldn't have to guess what the topic will be this evening.

If you go to the AAR website you can find a link that will allow you to listen live.

Unfortunately, not on satelite and no IN stations listed. Supposedly an app is available to listen on the cell phone.

Hmmm ... I think the links provided on the page I linked to will allow you to listen to the live stream.

If none of that works, you can download the podcast at a later date (MP3 or IPod).

They post their broadcasts on iTunes so you can download them and listen.
