This morning Massad Ayoob appeared on the Today Show. Ayoob is advocating the arming of teachers on a voluntary basis similar to the model used in Israel. Massad is in favor of qualified teachers carrying “discreetly concealed semi-automatic pistols.”
I noticed some of the TFL members spoke of arming teachers in various posts after the Littleton shooting. I refrained from entering the fray because quite frankly the notion of arming teachers seemed to me to be way over the top and just plumb stoopid. I am starting to rethink my position.
So, what do you guys think? Is Ayoob right or has he “wigged out” on this one?
