发帖数: 10345 | 1 Teachers flock to gun courses as gun-violence debate heats up
Free gun courses aimed at teachers and school administrators in Utah, Texas,
North Carolina and Ohio have attracted hundreds of applicants in the wake
of the shootings at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn.
The classes provide gun training and a concealed carry license for those who
qualify. Gerard Valentino, a co-founder of the Buckeye Firearms advocacy
group in Ohio, said more than 900 teachers and administrators have signed up
to take the three-day class his organization is offering at the Tactical
Defense Institute in West Union, Ohio. Local news reports out of Utah, Texas
and North Carolina suggest that hundreds more teachers are undergoing gun
training in those states as well.
Meanwhile, Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona, has sent armed
volunteers to patrol areas around about 50 schools this week, and a city
council in a small town in Utah is considering passing a resolution that
encourages all teachers to carry concealed weapons to schools.
