i would presume a requirement would be for a level 2 or 3 holster so no one, say a student, could just walk up and grab the gun. i think this is prudent for this situation. i carry a level 2 when i hike because i am more concerned with the gun slipping out if i fall down a hill than needing the extra second it takes the “unlock” the holster. my EDC IWB holster is the usual friction only.
i am all for volunteer teachers to be allowed to conceal carry in the classroom. my stipulations would be a legal class, additional training beyond the CCW class, a walk through to determine backstops, and a shooting test. personally i think every CCW holder should have to do this but i would never openly admit that in a debate with a gungrabber. the school could split the cost of the training and cover liability for insurance purposes.
just my opinion but i think some CCW folks don’t take their responsibility serious enough. having a gun in a situation is not enough.

I disagree and I bet I won't be the only one. Having a gun is the first step and it puts you miles ahead of anybody that doesn't have one. With a gun, your chances for success have gone from zero to at least 50%, likely better.

Would more training increase your chances even more, maybe even improve the chances of others due to better tactics? Could be but it won't be the same level of increase from just the act of having the gun available.
