Maybe more importantly, uniformed people with guns. In an active shooter situation, people in plain clothes are all suspects and suspects holding guns get shot.

Myself and coworkers joke about our "armory" of weapons ready to combat a shooter. However, we're not stupid enough to actually do that. We know the police that would show up within seconds would see us as targets as well.
seconds? Nope. 5+ minutes (which is usually too late).
The office I work in has the city's emergency management building right at the foot of it.

Sounds like we agree that having a police officer on duty at schools that are "gun free" is a good idea.

The fact that it's common knowledge that you're armed means you'll likely never have to deal with that kind of situation.
And also, shoot everyone because guns just aren't accurate weapons unless you're in the calm situation of a range.
See all the innocent bystanders shot by police who miss the alleged offender.
