Arming teachers is a throwaway phrase. It is like arming shoppers for mall shoppers.
The appropriate practice is to allow citizens to carry concealed weapons in most places unless there is a technical reason not to.
It behooves the carrier to be competent and have answered in their own mind - the question of whether they can use the gun with its potentially lethal outcome.

That isn't what I've seen. A lot of CPL instructors can personally attest to the mass ignorance and lack of interest in effective use, that the public has when applying for a CPL.
And from my own personal experience, if you expect people to do the right thing you're going to be disappointed every time. People don't sit down and make a conscious decision about whether they should or shouldn't do something, they sit down and make conscious efforts to justify to themselves their doing what they desire.
