True story. There was one teacher at my old high school authorized to handle firearms on school property. He was an army sergeant and was the ROTC instructor. One morning a couple of students found him dead on the floor. He’d been shot in the head with a .22 rifle, which was lying next to him. The theory was that he’d been cleaning the rifle for rifle team practice and somehow had shot himself accidentally. There was also speculation that he’d done it on purpose, but I never could believe that someone who knew much about weapons would choose a .22 to commit suicide with.

But WTF, arm the teachers.
