American Principals with Firearms

Ten years ago when school shootings suddenly became more common. I thought of the idea that some public high school principals with approval from higher political structure, should be permitted to have one firearm issued by the state.

-Comparisons-

Commercial airplane pilots are now able to carry firearms inside of airplanes. This is a general added risk of adult voting citizens that fly in all airplanes. A pilot in the maximum number potentially commands the same number of people as a small grade school. A high school principal commands the same number of people that would fit in ten jumbo jets, but principals can't have this same privilege. It seems much more logical for a principal to have this same privilege . Especially because a principal commands minors, which could be wards of the state in some circumstances. Certain school principals with the proper background clearance should be able to obtain a firearm for emergency use.


In the 1800's, A principal most certainly had the right to brandish a firearms inside their office, especially in a rural Western school house. The liberals of the 1900's have undoubtably made this right illegal. Imagine if principal’s could start having a state issued nonfunctioning display firearm hanging up high on a wall in their offices. For a student to view the firearm would put most all students in line. The display firearm would be a sign that the principal has been issued a real firearm. Like how some cities have decommissioned nonfunctioning military tanks stationed outside of the local American Legions. The functioning firearm must be locked up in a safe for emergency protection of his flock of students from a psychotic perpetrator of a school shooting.
