I respect his professional opinion (he was a former military contractor, correct?) I think his arguments would probably someone with more training and experience than myself to properly assess.

But the following facts I think make a good case to believe his is mistaken about this scenario:

- statistics on the utility of CCW in mass shooter scenarios

- the preference of mass shooters to target gun-free zones.

- the precedent of Utah allowing teachers with CCW for roughly 10 years without real incident.

It's certainly not the only step that should be taken to curb mass shootings in schools, but I think there's good evidence it will help.
