Beware of friendly fire in our schools

While reading “NYPD detective from LI wounded” [News, Aug. 23], about friendly fire during an attempted carjacking, I was reminded of those who think teachers ought to be equipped with guns in classrooms.

Quite simply, if highly trained police officers, with many hours of training at the firing range can accidentally shoot one of their own, what might the likely fallout be from teachers, with far less training, firing weapons in classrooms?

As a former teacher and someone experienced with handguns, the last place I would ever want to carry a weapon is in a classroom or anyplace else in a school.
