Heck, I think a big step forward would be to have any of the faculty interested in helping out and willing to undergo some training to be able to carry a gun, or at least have one close at hand. You would think by now that most people would have noticed that "gun-free" zones are just a safe haven for nut jobs to bring their own weapons to with little fear of finding any effective resistance against them. It's basically made assaults against all those victims very little more challenging than shooting fish in a barrel. You might as well draw circles around pertinent areas and put signs up stating: "Shoot here. No one will shoot back."
As it is now, even if someone did have a gun handy, they would hesitate simply because they would know that regardless of their saving lives, they would at the very least lose their job for their efforts. Maybe even be prosecuted for violating the law themselves.
Why our government wants to make "criminal friendly" zones is completely beyond my comprehension.
