I don't know how I feel about this.
My kid is going to be a freshman this year in high school and I have all kinds of issues with teachers being armed on a high school campus. Just like yesterday - where an armed civilian tried to take action with zero understanding of the tactical situation and ended up getting himself killed - I have a hard time seeing teachers suddenly taking up arms. Then factor in accidental discharges, lost or misplaced weapons (and kids finding them), and the worse case a high school football player over powering a teacher that weighs 110 lbs soaking wet and suddenly being armed.
I don't see any other solution. I would like to see a lot of mandatory training on this.
But this still isn't going to be a proper solution. Have you been to a high school recently? Most high schools are freaking huge. You can have two armed guards and four teachers carrying weapons and it would be a cluster fuck of a tactical situation.
