There is no way to not make it a program though. Some issues I see here: - if teachers are allowed to be armed, then as a parent I believe that I have a right to know which of the teachers at my school carry firearms, and I want to be able to verify that they have the proper training and safety precautions in place - the standard procedure for this type of situation is for the teachers to stay with their students and to lock the doors. If some of the teachers have weapons, then what is the plan for them? Are they meant to leave their students alone and unsupervised in the classroom as they confront and attempt to gun down the assailant? The school would have to figure out and plan for this too. - Insurance companies would have something to say about this as well, where would the budget come from to pay for increased premiums? It is not as simple as just removing legal barriers, there are tradeoffs involved.
