'You want to teach English? Well, do you have a Glock?': Florida Senate approves bill to arm teachers with guns"

 it states, " Florida’s tragic Parkland shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where 14 students and three staff members were killed on Feb. 14, 2018" (1). This demonstrates the cause on why teachers should be equipped with a fire arm. Additionally, School shootings rate will decrease and if it happens a teacher will be able to step up and quickly end the situation.

It would, however, allow school districts to let teachers voluntarily participate in the state’s armed guardian program, if they survive a rigorous background check and complete required training” (https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.tampabay.com/blogs/gradebook/2019/03/21/florida-house-advances-school-security-bill-that-would-allow-armed-teachers/%3ftemplate=amp). 
This clearly states that teachers will not be forced to carry a firearm and that teachers will have to go through a great amount of training and background checks in order to carry a weapon. The last concern of people opposed to this law is that they’re afraid that a student will get a hold of this weapon and use it for to do bad things. This is also false. After volunteering and going through rigorous training do we all think that a teacher is just going to leave the gun out in his or her desk or even on top of a shelf? The answer to this is no, part of the teachers training will be to have the gun either so concealed or in a place where some sort of combination is needed to get to the gun.  This is not all though, there are many other clear reasons as to why teachers should carry firearms. The first reason is that it’s the question of why not? After a teacher has done all the training and everything necessary to carry a gun then why shouldn’t he or she not be able use it? If you or I were a criminal looking to steal something from a house would you rather go to the house with a security system or with out the security system? Any thief would agree that in order to not get caught, they would go to a house without the security system. This is no different with armed teachers. If a school shooters main goal is to 🤬 as many people as possible then that school shooter would go to a school with unarmed teachers over a school with armed teachers. If there are two schools and one has armed teachers and the other has unarmed teachers, which school do you think would the school shooter go to? When the research is done and the bill passed in Florida is analyzed, there are numorous reasons why qualified teachers should be allowed to carry firearms.
