If every or a large number of teachers are known to carry a pistol, then the teacher will become the first target.Not if they don’t know which teachers and where they are. Ever did a tornado evacuation in school? They did it every quarter at mine. We all knew what to do in the event of a tornado. Same principle
I understand and I’m not saying mandatory either. It should be their choice. Mandatory in the office though.I'm saying two things:
1. I think a teacher being able to carry a gun should be their choice, not something made mandatory or just given out on a wholesale basis
2. Arming teachers doesn't go to the root of the problem. This is a spiritual/moral issue
Could happen, but SROs are trained in self defense. Are we going to be training our teachers the same as police officers?That's a speed safe. Some use a finger print to access. This particular one is designed for a single pistol.
What happens is those same students jump a cop and take their pistol?

It just opens a can of worms. Undoubtedly there would be a teacher getting his gun stolen or a teacher using his gun to break up a fight.No need to. That pistol is only for the unthinkable. If it is in a locked biometric safe (needing a finger print to open) then no threat of a student getting their hands on it to begin with. You could make a requirement for open carry that the person that open carried had to be trained, or have past police or military training. More than one way to skin a cat, and having gun free zones is just asking for another tragedy.
