The term “school shooting” covers a lot of real estate. Depending on who is keeping count, it could be anything from a stray bullet hitting a school in the wee hours of the morning or something that makes Uvalde look like a fond memory.
Regardless, if a student’s life is in danger, armed teachers might well make the difference between a traumatic experience and a funeral.
While anti-gunners loathe the idea of a teacher carrying a gun, Utah has has them for a good while now without incident.
