Great to hear you're on board. 

Single handgun safes start a less than $100 at Walmart or on Amazon. Not exactly a budget buster.
I would anticipate most teachers/school personnel would wish to carry their own.  If not, prices start at about $200.  Again, not an obstacle.

lol Not an obstacle?

There are 3.2 million teachers across america. So thats 300 dollars for a safe and gun. Then what about the training? Who is paying for that? How long should a teacher train for before being considered competent enough to shoot an active shooter? 6 months? A year? Can't have teachers using their own guns as well because that's a safety concern for the counties. Gotta make sure all guns are the same.

So we got 300 bucks at minimum for gun and safe. Then whatever it costs to train someone for 6 months (I have no clue how much this would cost but doing anything for 6 months isn't cheap) so let's just say another 300 bucks per person. 600 bucks total to train 1 teacher.

Now let's say we only train half the teachers in America. So 1.6 million. So that means we need $960 million dollars.
