There was a video somewhere of different people who were "trained" with handguns that were given paintball hand guns and told to sit through a mock class, and if an active shooter (another guy with a paintball gun) came into the class they were to defend themselves.
It was absolute chaos when they ran the scenario, and from what I remember a total failure.
People in military or law enforcement can probably chime in here, but law enforcement is trained how to properly act in a shoot out......control their breathing, not panic, keep heart rate levels low whereas these people in the mock shooter scenario panicked, fumbled their weapons, shot other people and basically did F-all.
You're likely adding to the problem if you arm teachers. It's literally the worst solution I can think of.
