Richard I think it would fix a many issues, HOWEVER, this is not as simple as hey I got a gun I carry it to class. Nope, it would be lots of training, then lots of continuous training after that. I would be willing to offer a program and a continuous program for free. Just give me an empty classroom and a place to shower and shave. Oh and of course some food ahhaha. The issue is my solution as far as the gun part is not a give me, it is a hard training program and getting your mind right. However the days of killing a bunch of kids and staff would be over. The jackass might get off a round or so before a staff member dial in on the 10 ring aka a kill shot and ended it but rest assured no more disgusting events like the past.

Other issues exist with arming teachers and staff: negligent discharges, arms storage, funding, etc.
During many military training courses and pre-deployment training, there are subjects taught in a classroom. Students and cadre often clear their weapons before entering for safety purposes.

LTC Eugene Chu - Eugene agree, I have always said just giving a teacher the okay to carry is a recipe for bad things. It can be done, but people have no idea how much training would go into the program. Just for the record just because you put your name on the list to volunteer does not mean you can carry. A person would only get to carry after a minimum training criteria was met and successfully passed. If a person failed to meet the minimum standards they would not be able to carry. This program would involve many things.
For the school in general, everyone would get training on trauma first aid, triage etc... who to call and as soon as the situation was identified as an active shooter.

SPC John Parmenter - John I heard some jackass on tv say they did not want to make our schools feel like a jail with all the security. It hit me like a ton of bricks, I dont have much money but I am okay with the gun carrying guards at the bank and all the cameras. So if I only have a little money and my son is the most valuable thing in my life I am okay if a machine gun position is set up if needed to keep em safe. We are a confused society

Call, shooting, person with gun, shoot, oops, wrong person with gun!

People who support this say "oh well there'd be a lot of training" and so on but who can guarantee that? Also the stress that teachers are under these days - I don't think they should have access to weapons. If some of my teachers would have had a gun in school...it would not have been good.
I really don't think this will deter a school shooter or active shooter. At all.
