The problem in comparing a school to a busy aisle at a store is that there are usually more care takers per child in the store. But it's not surprising that there is initial resistance from police chiefs. In most urban areas, a police chief is really a badged & gunned politician who have no more police skill than the rest of us. It's an excuse born out of laziness that leads an official to say that arming citizens would make it too hard for police to determine who is the bad guy and who is the good guy. And we need to put pressure on any chief who can't or won't have his department train to a higher standard than "see a gun, shoot the person holding it".

Most of this discussion is centering on arming teachers. And that's a good idea as long as it's part of the plan & not the whole plan. Using some form of school Marshall as a first line of defense needs to also be included, probably as a prerequisite.
