      Not that dumb of a mistake. For one, why would a teacher have their gun out when there isn’t a shooter? It should pretty much be locked down at all times. School shootings are rare believe it or not.

          That could be true though impossible to know. More importantly is the count of lives lost. If you can stop a shooter before they kill the next ten kids, how much of that compares to the likelihood of mistakes? Also consider the likelihood of the teachers being armed simply deterring potential shooters. We’ve already established that most of them are planning to die in their shootings anyhow, but it’s still a factor.
