I favor trained armed guards in the school. (See them here every time I mentor and kids really don’t pay much attention to them.)

It seems to me that there is a lot to consider in arming teachers. Just saying bring your gun isn’t the answer. You will get everything from .22 derringers to S&W long barrel .44 magnums. Same with ammo. Then there is the issue of training - both range and tactics. These have to be kept current. How are weapons carried? Stored? In the event of a shooting situation, what do teachers do? How will Leo’s recognize them? This just scratches the surface.

Does this law look at any of these?
