I could give my opinion, but you are not worth my time.

You wouldn't be posting it for me, but rather for the poster who asked you the question which you summarily dismissed.

Yes I did, because the questions were ridiculous and not worthy of answer.

Just the war zone or everywhere you were at while in the military? Like in transport to and from the warzone you has your weapon with you on the plane or ship?

The rest of your post is irrational nonsense.
This is your suggestion, I would hope you could discuss it rationally.

I believe that is where the "Debate" in "Great Debates" comes from...

Sorry to butt in here, not my back and forth, I know, but the Police Action usually refers to The Korean War, eh? Wasn't the M14 a later weapon?

There is nothing irrational about it at all.

The possibility of students dying accidentally if armed teachers were in every school is a very real one. The likelihood that a gun could be taken, used by a student against others, used by a teacher who snapped, or other accidental deaths, would be greater than the chance of a mass shooting ever happening.

Which is a minimal risk that would be dealt with on a school to school(state to state ?) bases. Let the people vote on it. I and my daughters that have children would feel better knowing their teacher was armed. If the program proved to be a failure, it would be easy to end. Doing nothing on school sites and instead whining for gun control is not a viable option.

Your Concerns are valid.
The odds are against any mass shooting ever happening again are immense.

There is no reason to recruit teachers to carry to school. It is reasonable to allow teachers who have been trained to carry by individual permit. Then add signage replacing gun free zone decals with a big warning sign:
INDIVIDUALS IN THIS BUILDING ARE ARMED AND TRAINED TO PROTECT OCCUPANTS AND ARE AUTHORISED TO USE DEADLY FORCE.
