I have no problem arming parents and teachers although I don't think this guy will be caught that way. He will most likely shoot himself first. Don't forget he has a telescopic site on his gun and is not going to stand out in the open to make a target for someone to shoot. More than likely he will have shot the person before they can even get their gun out. But if this helps parents and teachers cope psychologically with this - I say go for it!!!

probably not, but Columbine would have been a different story if teachers were armed. It may have never been attempted.

I can't see any reason to support either of these assertions. What leads you to these conclusions?

Someone looking through a scope has all their attention focused on a small area a hundred yards in front of him.

It's likely someone could walk up behind or along side this loser without him noticing.

Within 30 feet, I'll put my Glock up against any long gun, especially when it's pointed in the wrong direction.

Admittedly, someone armed, alongside an intended victim could do little with a handgun. This guy is not working in a vacuum though. Sooner or later, someone will come upon this guy at his sixes.
