Yes, but teachers should have to abide by restrictions and rules to make sure that they are mentally sound, know how to use a firearm to the fullest extent, and to make sure their criminal background is clear. Additionally, any firearm a teacher carries during school should be disabled in some way (ex. removing the magazine) so the risk of accidental fire is minimized. The gun and ammo should be their own, and every check (psychological, etc) must be completed as much as possible.

While your proposed measures for safety and training are thoughtful, they may not necessarily mitigate all the risks. For instance, having teachers carry firearms, even with the magazine removed, could potentially escalate situations rather than diffusing them. It also raises the question of how quickly a teacher could react and properly load their weapon in a crisis. Furthermore, this approach could divert significant resources from educational priorities to firearm training and psychological screenings. How do you propose we balance these concerns?
