Flare guns would be just great. Burn the school down while you burn the killer and all the students at the same time.
I thought this was a serious discussion about the second amendment.

Most teachers are averse to carrying LETHAL firearms. A flare gun or a rubber bullet shot at an armed intruder could delay his killing of children long enough for some of them to escape and/or the Police show up or a Principal or school guard to get there with a LETHAL lead firing pistol or rifle.
Rubber bullets and flare pistols are NOT a joke - they are better than NOTHING, which most teachers say that they will be carrying ......nothing.
.......And I have talked to a few Police Officers that said that a separate gun loaded with rubber bullets MIGHT be good in certain situations. They were open to the idea. Many Officers are NOT thrilled with a foot chase with a suspected perpetrator and then the decision to shoot them in the back, or not.
