Teachers who have military or other relevant experience are better off being armed than unarmed in this situation.

Or in many cases even those without such experience. The military, police, etc will provide some level of training in using firearms (not however as extensive of training for the average person in the organization as many seem to think*), but you don't need to be a member of such organization, or be trained by them, to have the needed skills.

* For police see - activeresponsetraining.net
or if that stops working the quote of it at

As for the military, you get initial entry training and have qualify every year, but you don't necessarily spend a lot of time on weapons training and practice there either, at least if your not in a direct combat unit.
