They're also going to hide behind a desk or something while pointing the gun and the gunman is out in the open.
Every teacher I've ever met would be willing to die for their students, so I think they'd be willing to kill someone trying to kill their students.

When did I say every teacher would be armed?

It would be a choice and every teacher I've ever met is prepared to die for their students, so I don't think some would mind carrying in order to save their students lives.

Also, if a shooter knows that there's multiple soldiers at a school, don't you think they'll be less-likely to even attempt to attack the school?

There was a school shooting while my son was in high school.  I don't remember which one, there are so many, but the local kids did a walkout and everything.

We were at the next school board meeting for a different reason and the board was discussing the different things they were going to do to ramp up safety at the high school.  One of the suggestions was about arming teachers though no decision was made then.

After the meeting my wife and I were talking to two teachers who we did not know personally, just small talk on the way out of the building.  Both men. One was from the HS one was from the vo-tech.  One was a gun owner, one was not.  Both said they would never want to arm teachers in the school.  Teachers FIRST priority is to make sure the children are safe.  The idea of having them go LOOKING for a shooter or worrying about arming themselves before the shooter got to them made no sense to these two.  And neither were anti-gun.

On the way home I was talking about the teachers I had in (Catholic) school and I was joking about the ones I would never EVER have trusted with a weapon!  The crazy ones, the stoner one, etc.

This country doesn't pay teachers enough, we don't fund the schools properly, how are they going to budget for weapons and training?

Unless its a state like Florida where anyone can get a gun with no permit or training, of course.
