If teachers were properly trained on how to operate a handgun that is extremely concealable I guarantee schools would be safer. If an individual who wanted to harm innocent people knew those people were armed that would be a sufficient deterrent already; and if they wanted to still carry out the attack they would suffer the consequences. and will be held accontabel

I think their should be a few teachers in the school with access to a firearm to keep schools safe, but not every teacher.

I agree, that teachers who are responsible and know how to use a gun and have no criminal record, should be able to carry a gun in their classroom to help prevent school shootings.
@9HN4TP35mos5MO
Yes, I agree. A very strict and rigorous training for teachers would be required with the option of not having a firearm if they didn't feel comfortable. the firearm would also have to be kept in an extremely secure location not on a teachers person.

Who's to say teachers can't be behind mass shootings? Why should teachers be appointed guns in a setting where we already know mass shootings based on things like peer behavior or mental issues are rampant?

With the issues of school shootings on the rise, I feel it is important for teachers to be able to not only defend themselves, but to also be able to defend the children in their care at the time. As someone who has been in a school shooting, the time from when a 911 call is made to the time that the police shows up is way too long. By no means is this the fault of the police or dispatchers, but with many shooters having adequate time to escape, it is important that someone is there to act against any shooters.
