2. Teachers carrying guns might deter kids from charging the shooter and getting killed. Recently it has been espoused that fighting is better than "flighting." But it usually means some innocent child gets killed.
It certainly could all go wrong. It's a conundrum.

It probably would and will go wrong in certain situations. Being able to take someone else's life is also something I am not that sure most teachers could actually do. And that failure could lead to tragedy.
