Unarmed teachers are put in the impossible position of having to place themselves between the threat and their students. Without the ability to defend themselves, you are creating soft targets and more victims. Security guards cannot be everywhere at once. Arm teachers to be able to protect themselves and students until help arrives.

If you need armed protection, have security guards in each block of campus and hallways. If not, have further bullet-proof walls and security measures. Giving guns to teachers can lead to accidental shots and mistakes or possibly in the hands of wrong people.
@9GHCS8F 7mos7MO
Do you have any reason to suggest that guns in the hands of teachers means accidental discharges will likely occur? Because they would obviously be accustomed to carrying in public, just like a CCW permit holder would. How incompetent do you think teachers are that they would not have the self discipline to keep a firearm safely stored or holstered until its deployment is required? This argument lacks both facts and merit. Do you have a study that suggests that teachers are more irresponsible with firearms than the general public or security guards?
