Sixth-grader Derek Atkinson is in Ferguson-Montgomery’s class and said
he knew she carried a gun because he saw it on her hip when she bent
over in the classroom. The teacher’s nickname is "Iron Woman."Source
So the teacher is viewed as someone who both teaches AND protects. A refreshing concept.
"Ebner talked about the accident with his son after school Thursday. He was glad his son’s first concern was for the teacher, but was surprised with the student’s other thoughts. "I didn’t know he liked the idea of teachers with guns," Ebner said. "He was glad she carries a gun in case some crazy comes into the school. "I thought he would be upset and that it might scare him," the father said. "But with all the news coverage and the Internet, they know everything and are exposed to all the stories about school shootings."
As I cited in the other posting about this event Anon, this also seems to be a location where police officers screw the pooch too. The more often you handle the weapon, the higher the possibility of a negligent discharge. If it just stays in the holster, its just fine.

Wait til the teacher "accidentally" shots a kid, not just a toilet.

DeleteThe more people carrying the more "accidents" will happen. Just keep those odds away from children.
