So realistically, are we talking about requiring teachers to be armed or merely allowing them to arm themselves if they wish? 

If the latter, which seems far more likely, then yes, I think there is a close to zero chance it would have made any difference.
Okay dickhead, enough of the bullshite hypotheticals.

If the fricking coach that took a bullet for his students would have been armed, do you think there would have possibly been a different outcome?

Well since he was a security officer, then maybe, but there is a good chance he would have protected the students first anyways.

But I do think it would make more sense, and potentially more effective to have SROs trained to respond. More effective than teachers.

Stop being emotional you whiny twat. Communicate like an adult.

Possibly? Sure. Likely? Probably not.

But even that possibility, whatever it may be, is dependent on that teacher electing to be armed, being armed that day, and being in a position to deploy a weapon.

Again "any chance is better than nothing" is a totally different argument than "you can't tell me it wouldn't have made a difference."

I don't get the people with the mindset that if a possible solution is not 100% effective than there is not point in doing it. If that coach had been given the choice of being unarmed, or armed, but with only a 1% chance of taking down the shooter I have no doubt about which he would have chosen.
