The specifics are open for discussion, but every law enforcement agent that I've ever spoken with says that the only way to solve the problem of school shootings is to harden the targets.

IMHO, having one or two armed guards on campus won't do it. Some schools are very large and by the time an armed guard can go from one end of a campus the other is too late.

Having armed personal at every location whether they be teachers, administrators or outside people will first of all deter many would be shooters from attempting a shooting. In the case of an attempt they would minimize the damage.
