I've worked out all the practicalities for you

http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/trump-control-florida-shooting-school-teachers-arming-weapons-protect-parkland-a8222806.html... we are going to have to find teachers who are willing to be armed and trained as marksmen. That should be easy to do given how well we pay teachers and how much respect we show them in our society.

Then, from the vast number of teachers who are sure to volunteer for this rewarding job, we are going to select the teachers we think are most capable of handling a gun and cross our fingers and hope that we chose right and that none of the people we choose ever loses his/her temper and uses the gun we give them to hurt a student.

And we're also going to hope and pray that they don't ever incorrectly identify a student who isn't a threat as a threat and accidentally shoot him or her (as we have seen the highly trained police officers in our country do on far too many occasions) ...

So these guns will be in a closet/drawer/briefcase which will obviously have to be kept locked so that students can't steal the gun and use it themselves. Because really, the most ideal situation for a school shooter would be to break in and access the gun they know is in their classroom rather than .. buying one themselves ...
