I agree 1 is too many.
And your argument that a kid could find the teacher's gun assumes the teacher has the gun in his desk, in a cabinet, etc. It is more likely that the teacher has the gun in a holster, concealed on himself so that he always has it with him if needed no matter where is on school grounds. The only way a kid would find it, is if he let it be known he had it (by using it, or talking about or showing it). In the case of a female teacher, I suppose it's possible the gun is in her purse. But then the kids would have to be looking in her purse to find it. And if the gun is in a purse locked up in a desk, it's useless in an emergency.
