Trump said he would have advised against allowing teachers to arm themselves, if only because of liability concerns. In the long run, it could have been cheaper and safer to hire security or off-duty police, he said.

I guess I'm at a loss to understand this statement. Maybe I'm just "thick", but since the teachers are already on the payroll (and assuming they are not being compensated to carry) how could it be "cheaper" to hire security personnel or off-duty police?

Somebody help me here.

Is he assuming there will be a litigation down the road if teachers carry, but not if security does?

Cost of litigation vs. cost of hiring a full time cop with a gun + the same litigation.
