I think it would have been worse. Armed gunmen in a school is terrifying enough, but a full blown shootout? That would get more people killed. Besides, having a CCW doesn't make you a peace officer. Most people just wouldn't be able to handle a situation like that CCW or no. As I said, better to enforce higher security standards and leave the shootouts to the police. And how many people would one teacher get killed if he had gotten in a gunfight with school shooters? 0? 1? 10? You can't know for sure, but I wouldn't trust most teachers with a gun at school, regardless of a slip of paper telling me it's okay.
