Even with armed teachers....if someone wants to do harm at the school or wherever, they will be able to. The attacker always has the advantage of surprise.

No matter how well prepared the schools or wherever are, the attacker always has the advantage.

I am pretty sure that in my part of Florida some teachers have been carrying guns in school for a long time, the thought being that if they get fired and/or go to jail for having a gun after they have shot an armed classroom invader, they are at least alive.

Yes, the attacker has the surprise advantage. But, now the attacker will know when he attacks he is about to be shot in the back.

There will be less FL attacks.

The benefit of armed teachers comes from the desire of mass shooters to be able to inflict a lot of death before being killed or killing themselves. If there is a uniformed guard that does not make the task harder. The first bullet is for the guard. If it is publicly known that teachers may be armed the attacker does not know which teacher he needs to shoot first or whether other teachers are also armed. They will look for places known to be "gun free zones." Mass murderers prefer a safe work environment. At universities it needs to be known that instructors and students may be armed.

Wouldn't be much of an advantage if the attacker doesn't know the number of disposition of the defenders.

These "attackers" are mentally ill and cowardly. If they know they may be shot they will look elsewhere seeking a "gun free" safe zone for them.
