Trained and armed teachers is the best way to avoid an active shooter in our schools. Crazy killers look for soft targets, not places with lots of people shooting back at them while waiting for the police to show up. We cannot count on the police, even RSOs in the building, to be there in time.

Only a matter of time before a teacher uses the gun to shoot kids and other staff. Or a kid gets hold of the gun and uses it to murder kids and staff.

Same with RSO. Civilians with concealed carry licenses have a better record than police. It a teacher caps a kid, think how much better behaved the rest of the class will be. :)
