but to be fair you would also need to post an additional poll which asked 'is it likely that we would see an increase in school shootings if teachers were allowed to carry guns in schools?'.

I like this response. You make valid points here.
Ultimately, nobody can be certain that a security guard/cop/teacher is stable and capable of handling a firearm. The idea here, I think, is to play the odds. Odds that some of my old teachers could be trusted to handle a firearm are pretty slim. Odds that with some screening and monitoring you could have a security guard without a screw loose- better.
