Yeah, sorry, I was sloppy phrasing it. What I meant is: those teachers from schools in rural districts who volunteer to carry a gun at school will mostly be gun-owners anyway. I didnt mean that some female teachers who never owned a gun and dont feel comfortable handling guns should now carry one at their school.

And even if females make up a majority of teachers and male teachers might tend to lean left as well, there will be at least one or two gun-owners among the teaching staff of a rural school, and that's enough.

I agree, but i've met some women that when I had to qualify for a pistol course, were easily outshooting me and a lot of the other men. I'm by no means good, but some of those women were amazing. Course, i also agree that this definitely isnt the majority. I don't think a lot of those women likely pursue the teaching profession. So, it's an outlier.

However, it really doesn't matter how many, moreso as just being qualified. I do think that in most cases it would be males wanting to carry. But, it's all personal decision. Having one qualified person carrying is a potential advantage.

I just think it would be great to give those qualified people the option.

>Phillips: When I was there and I was standing there and I seen that group of people in front of me and I seen the angry faces and all of that, I realized I had put myself in a really dangerous situation. Here's a group of people who were angry at somebody else and I put myself in front of that, and all of a sudden, I'm the one whose all that anger and all that wanting to have the freedom to just rip me apart, that was scary. And I'm a Vietnam veteran and I know that mentality of "There's enough of us. We can do this."

>“Nathan’s past is a difficult one. He was forced out of his family at the age of five to be integrated into a Catholic school — like so many other Native Americans — not being allowed to see his family for ten years. He was then a marine in Vietnam and right after that he became an alcoholic for 20 years. He said the only reason he managed to stop drinking was meeting Shoshana"

it's because it's common to not feel sympathy but to hate the other side. It's like "communists" who are driven by hating the successful and not necessarily by the plight of the poor.

or rather it's "the (msm) media are part of the establishment", which explains both their almost uniform hatred for trump and also them downplaying police violence which occurred while defending a corporate megaproject like Keystone XL.
