Why not allow teachers who are vetted and trained to carry? You trust them with your children? If there was a fire in the classroom, you expect them to use a fire extinguisher. If they were on the playground and a rabid dog was there you would expect them to try and stop it. If the 2 adult Coaches that were killed try to save kids by shielding the kids, I would imagine if he were armed he would have engaged the shooter.
If anything, while locked down in there classroom, they are able to defend against the shooter breaking in.
I am not for all teachers being armed. But if they are willing and able to train and certify, like armed pilots in passenger aircraft, then I'm Okay with it.
