The armed teacher protocol would introduce firearms into classrooms yes but they would be secured in the teachers person at all times. The teachers would have to undergo training to properly handle weapon systems though. With this training they would be able to respond to emergency situations much easier than throwing books and staplers at someone carrying a firearm.

Teachers are with children. Some teachers are somewhat cruel to their students; giving the teachers an opportunity to impulsively pull a gun on a student is way too risky.

I agree with the fact that a teacher pulling a gun on a student wouldn’t be good. But I believe that the possibility of that happening after thorough screenings and psychological evaluations of personnel will limit that.

This can lead to unpredictable behavior that even the most rigorous screenings might not prevent. For instance, in 2019, a teacher in California accidentally discharged a firearm during a safety demonstration, injuring a student. How would we ensure the safety of students in these kinds of situations?

You hit the nail on the head! It's like giving a cat a bath; no matter how well you prepare, there's a good chance you're going to get scratched. Even with rigorous screenings and extensive training, accidents can still occur, as we saw with the unfortunate incident in California. It's not just about preventing deliberate misuse of firearms, but also preventing accidental harm.
So let's say we introduce even more safety measures, like lockboxes for guns or biometric safeties.
