Ohio: Good on you

Ohio teachers need police training to carry guns in school, court rules

“(Ohio law) prohibits a school from employing a person who goes armed while on duty in his or her job unless the employee has satisfactorily completed an approved basic peace-officer-training program or has 20 years of experience as a peace officer,” Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor wrote in the ruling, according to the report.

Arming teachers has always been a pretty marginal idea, IMO—arming just about anybody, in fact, in any official capacity—and if you're going to do it at all you ought to do it right. Which means insisting on some serious, intensive training on not only how to use a weapon, but also on when it's called for. And when it's not.
