Imagine the trauma when you dedicate your life to teaching kids and you have to kill someone during the math lesson ...
It's just not their job.
Trust me - I'm not on board with arming teachers. Plenty of my friends are teachers or school faculty and not a one of them want to be in charge of taking the lead in an active shooter case. Most of them don't even want to carry.
That's even not acknowledging the facts that police tend to shoot first and ask questions later in a situation where a shooter is active. Let's say a teacher does manage to take out the actual threat - how do they tell the incoming police they're not the shooter and they got them without the cops firing like mad?
LEOs don't get the benefit of the doubt anymore.
