It has worked in israel for since they started arming teachers in ’74.
The only israeli school shooting I can find mention of since then is of march 13th, 1997.
7 seventh and eighth graders were killed by a jordanian soldier as they were visiting the jordan’s “island of peace” Their teachers had been ordered to leave their firearms behind when they visited the jordanian enclave.
Note to self, when someone asks you to disarm so that THEY can protect you, DONT!!
Steve, that’s why after I retired I turned down a one year Firefighter job at a US installation in Saudi Arabia, ($100,000 a year tax free)because we would not have been allowed to possess ANYTHING that resembled a weapon, including a lockblade knife. Our “security” was to be provided by Arab (read Muslim) guards.
The guy I was talking to on the phone could’nt understand why I was leary about going to a part of the world where killing infidels is not considered a crime and trust my safety to the very kind of people who would’nt mind offing me to appease allah.
