Just carrying a firearm doesn't make you competent in marksmanship, stress management, crisis management, fire suppression, threat incursion or coordination with police and SWAT. At the very least, police could mistake an armed teacher for the intruder. Plus, there are unstable people in every profession.
My point is that not everyone should be armed. I don't mind teachers carrying firearms ... but imo, they would have to register their carry weapon so the Principal and law enforcement know who's armed on campus. And they would need annual training in gun safety, marksmanship, crisis management and command & control with local police. They obviously would have to pass a criminal background check and have no history of domestic violence.
As for the 14-year-old saving his mom's life ... that is AWESOME. That took a lot of guts and composure under pressure.

You have no clue what you are talking about. No one needs annual training in markmanship. You shoot constantly. Gun safety is not something you train for annually either. Either you know gun safety or you don't.
Just because someone has a gun doesn't mean that they have the capacity to handle a certain situation... given. But to assume that, in your little fairy world, that a registered handgun and the other crap you read somewhere would have an impact is seriously flawed.
No carry individual would have need for any command and control training. Nor do they need to know, other than what they receive in the average conceal carry course, how to interact with LEOs. If someone doesn't have common sense, they should not have the handgun on them, and they are more than likely are not going to make the best decisions when faced with the fast-moving high-stressed situations that this accounts for.
