I think we need a subtlety with the good guy or gal with a gun argument.
The officer at Columbine, the officers at VT or the police at Ford Hood were not at the site of the initial attack. They arrived later.
The argument for carry is to have someone immediately available at the scene.
A clear instance is Jeanne Assam at the Denver Church shooting. She stopped it.
Wayne arguing for a guard at each school is good that it may deter but the guard can't be in each class. Folks comfortable with carry should be able to be there. Also, such folks can defend their space if not immediately attacked.
