With all these school shootings that are occuring, should teachers become proficient with a hand gun, and keep it in the class room?

I think teachers should be allowed to have a firearm secured in a locked safe that only faculty or security know the combination.

Here are more ideas

I also think hiring more security.. at my high school of about 8000 students there were only 10 security and only 3-4 were there at any one time.
My school was big, it took a good 10 minutes to walk from end to end and it was 4 floors. It took about another 4-5 minutes to get out on the other side of the gym ,football and baseball fields.
A school needs enough manned security to patrol and secure each entrance and wing..


Schools should limit entrances into the school, and each entrance should have a manned security station. Service doors, emergency exits and secondary entrances should be locked and secured with limited access .

Each room should have a steel sliding door /plate that can be slid and locked to reinforce the door entrance. Students should be taught how to slide and lock it down..

Rooms facing outside can have a emergency exits for quick egress

Hallways can be locked down in sections with sliding steel doors limiting access in case of a breach..

Each classroom should contain a trauma station with a dozen or so IFAK kits.
These IFAKs should also be strategically placed throughout the schools facilities. Students and faculty should be trained to use and administer the kits on the injured..
These kits have been proven in combat to saving thousands of soldiers lives. Similar combat type trauma would be expected in a mass shooting.. by the way, these arn't just for shooting trauma, they can be used in any trauma situation..
