Firearms for Faculty

Mass shootings have been a concern for some time now. The tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary brought forth greater passion to the firearms debate. In the wake of the event, parents across the country have purchased bullet proof backpacks for their kids and the spectrum of the political conversation includes everything from banning of all firearms to having armed personnel on all educational campuses.

Locally, some Georgia Tech students are requesting rights for students to be able to carry guns on campus and the Georgia Legislature has mentioned a bill that would allow school administrators to carry firearms.

I know you all may have strong opinions on the matter. This is NOT a Second Amendment debate. Here is the specific question for us. Chattahoochee Technical College has armed personnel on campus. Do you think students and or faculty should have guns as well? Please give two to three (2-3) reasons to support your answer.
