Guns in schools

Since the topic of arming teachers is in the news a quick look at some statistics would be helpful. 22% of women in the US have a gun license and there are 3.2 million K thru 12 teachers in the US and 76% are female so it could be concluded that there are over 500,000 female teachers in the K thru 12 system in the country who have a gun license. Since there are about 100,000 public schools that would be 5 female teachers per school who have a gun license. Add in the male teachers and you get 2 more licensed gun owner per school. Half of the people working in public schools are not teachers and so that would mean 12 licensed gun owner per school. The argument says that it would be a deterrent if soft targets like schools had trained gun users on campus. It would be interesting to find out how many school employees would volunteer to carry their guns in school and offer them additional training and pay to do so.
