In my opinion it would be of little value. I also prefer teachers to teach not be security guards.
I think the few that would be comfortable to carry would most likely only be willing to use their weapon in self defense of themselves or their class. They would not seek out a shooter to stop them. They could also become targets themselves from police thinking they are the shooter.
Also in a time of high stress missing your target is highly likely.
I don't honestly think the thought of teachers armed would stop anyone either. They usually plan on dying in the incident regardless.
Your thoughts? Thoughts from our neighbor to the north?
