Not being able to draw your gun in time is only one potential problem. Another is not knowing who the assailant is once everyone starts shooting. Talk about likely collateral damage. And besides these people who commit these crimes are intending to die, and thus a fully armed class would be no deterrent and just a recipe for violent chaos.
well.....let's just think this out a bit.....what if a police officer had been present in the classroom at Virginia Tech that day? any chance that he or she may have been able to take out Cho?
