Why Guns Should Be Allowed In Schools

In the past guns were thrown out of school to create a different atmosphere, an atmosphere of learning and knowledge not centered around guns and violence, but as of late the gun free zones that are at our schools are making them targets for attacks. To remedy the issue of schools being attacked should teachers be firearms trained and armed in our schools? In this essay I intend to discuss whether guns should be allowed on school grounds if a teacher decides to conceal carry or whether schools should still remain gun free zones no matter what.
By now, there should be enough evidence to state correctly that declaring schools “gun free zones” do not make them gun free zones. In fact, because the schools are gun free zones they can sometimes turn
