[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1378528, member: 14668"] A couple of years ago, a teacher here in Oregon filed a lawsuit against the school district that employed her because of their policy prohibiting teachers from being armed. This teacher had a concealed handgun license, and a psycho ex husband whom she had taken out a restraining order against. By law, she was legally allowed to carry her gun on school property, but doing so violated the terms of her employment and subjected her to being terminated. The court ruled against her,[I] but only on the basis of being in violation of her terms of employment[/I]. She wasn't breaking any law by carrying the gun but she could still get fired. In other words...concealed means concealed and if she would have just kept silent about carrying the gun the worst thing that could have happened to her was losing her job. There are a couple of teachers I know who are members of my gun club and they have permits and carry concealed while at school. They have made the decision that saving their own lives and the lives of their students takes priority over their future employment status in the event that a lunatic ever shows up and starts shooting up their school.
