That said, I firmly believe an armed teacher could leave the police with nothing to do but take a report. Remember, when seconds count, the police are only minutes away. Teachers can be taught how to react upon arrival of armed LE.

the teacher isn't going to leave her students.....no way, no how. Now, if the shooter comes in her classroom, if she's armed, he's dead, what problem the chief has with that...I don't see it? (ok, grammatically that's horrid, but I think you should understand it. :) )

Having an armed teacher hiding in a class room is next to useless, they need to be engaging the shooter, unless every teacher is armed and that is not going to happen any time soon.
