Topic	Question for the "We should arm teachers" crowd on CE.
yemmy 01/10/23 9:30:51 AM #4:	I believe that if someone is shooting you or at you then defending yourself with deadly force is appropriate no matter the age of the assailant. I think this attempt at a gotcha is very disingenuous and also isn't accounting for the fact that the 6 year old child was a danger to other 6 year old students as well. Also I think that the overwhelming majority of people who advocate for arming teachers also advocate for armed guards and metal detectors at entrances so that 6 year olds can't get into the building with a gun in the first place. But a simple answer to your question, yes a teacher(or a cop, or a security guard) would be justified in shooting an active shooter, whether it be a 6 year old or not --- p226 <cite>yemmy posted [p:970747320] in Question f...
