Dennis Roberts from Easley says,
“I don’t feel that teachers should have guns. I believe that a more productive way is to have people that are trained, preferably, law enforcement at each and every school.”
Phillip Thompson from Pickens says,
“I think they should be armed because people are going in and not have assurance that the students are safe.”
Jeanne Castor from Easley says,
“I don’t think they should be armed in the classroom. I think that the security for the school should be increased so that the teachers feel safe in the classroom and the students feel safe being in the classroom.”
Dustin Landers from Easley says,
“It is a great thought but what about the teachers that decide to use the gun themselves?”
Pat Porter from Dacusville says,
“I do not think that teachers should be armed in the classroom. I think that should be handled by the professionals outside of the school. You never know what child may get a hold of that weapon.”

An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.
