"If you had a teacher who was adept with the firearm, they could end the attack very quickly," he said, stating that schools could arm up to 20% of their teachers to stop "maniacs" who may try and attack them.
"This would be obviously only for people who were very adept at handling a gun, and it would be, it's called concealed carry, where a teacher would have a concealed gun on them. They'd go for special training and they would be there and you would no longer have a gun-free zone," Trump said. "Gun-free zone to a maniac -- because they're all cowards -- a gun-free zone is 'let's go in and let's attack because bullets aren't coming back at us.' "

Agreed, but....

I've seen numbers of between 1 in 3 and 1 in 5 for bullets filed by USA LEO's that actually hit the intended target and that is when they are NOT being fired upon.

How accurate will one of these armed teachers be when confronted with an armed nutter for the first time??

What "collateral damage" would you expect in a room full of students?

If this measure is enacted, won't the next school shooter simply target the teachers first?
