Ed needs to ask this school teacher who wants

to carry a handgun how much training she's had with a handgun and how often she's willing to target practice.

Apparently Utah has had teachers "concealed carry" for 12 years. I don't know of any accidental duscharges or intentional shootings by teachers. Does anyone know of any in Utah?

And the teacher just can't see any problem with that. Jeebus, I'm glad I don't live there.

I knew that the teacher was proficient in firearms use, and stayed proficient.

I could not imagine that woman being able to hold a gun steady to shoot an intruder in her classroom. And I'm not convinced she knows how to properly stow a gun.
