don't think that's the point. It may not be the intent but it's a plausible result. The shooter, knowing to the school, heads straight for the classrooms with the teachers expected to be unarmed. Having some armed teachers may deter action against the school but it may also only deter action against some classrooms within the school. People tend to focus only on the up-side of their proposals and not consider the various ways things might play out. Like with those who want to ban guns perhaps don't consider that someone out to get a school might just switch to bombs were guns unavailable. Out of the frying pan...

i-node <I do believe one has to be committed to that concept to find value in possessing the weapon in the first place.> I've seen guys who had 26 weeks of intensive training in combat arms totally fuck up when the combat actually started. Assuming an armed teacher can do that in the chaos of an assault is a patently absurd idea. It's tired old NRA bullshit to sell more weapons (their business charter). Take the damned assault weapons and melt them down. Altair19
