I suspect the cowards who do this kind of thing will be averse to taking on ANY return fire. And, they give it very real consideration.

Exactly. You beat me to it. Not to mention the fact that even a compact sized handgun, competently handled, can be a match for an AR at room distance ranges, which is most of what's going to be encountered within a school.


Exactly - I would bet on a guy like Hickok45 (a school teacher by profession) against any punk with an AR-15 any day. The big advantage of a rifle is range and at room/ hallway distances that advantage isn't as critical. I'm sure there's more than a few teachers/ school staff that compete in the shooting sports and would gladly take on the training and responsibility if the school board would let them. I disagree with the gun safes in the classroom. The weapons should be on the person concealed for the entire shift.
