I'd put money on this teacher losing her job for speaking out to a conservative news source.

In light of the vulnerability and anxiety Mary Anne felt during the lockdown, we asked her opinion of school systems that have canned food drives with the goal of providing teachers with cans of vegetables they can throw at a gunman, should one enter the classroom. She dismissed it out of hand as impractical. She said having a gun gives you “the only chance you have.”
Can't think of anything more pathetic than a teacher tossing cans of creamed corn at a gunman who is slaughtering her students.

I remember my seventh grade english teacher told us she was taking a class that summer to be qualified as a principal. She had no intention to ever stop teaching, but said that with this credential she would get a bump in pay, which was the only reason she was taking the summer class.
Imagine this: Teachers get a similar bump in pay if they take a gun safety course and obtain a special permit allowing them to conceal carry while working and while commuting to/from work. Most teachers will not go through the effort but some will, and that's all you need. I know I will likely never see anything close to this come into effect, but I can dream.
