Yes - bear spray is not perfect. The range is only 30 feet or so but guns have disadvantages too. Anyone can easily shoot a can of bear spray since they are silent and have no recoil and there is no need for great accuracy anyway. They are cheap - $40. And no threat of killing an innocent person.
Will some shooters then wear gas masks? Perhaps, but bear spray in the eyes is horrible and so the mask will have to cover their eyes too and the spray on the lenses will make it hard to see.
Mind you i'm talking about those big 8 inch cannisters of bear spray, not those dinky cans of mace that only go 5 feet.
Not a bad idea, still, the best idea is to limit access into schools with monitors watching the entrances with metal detector wands and a simple search. Can't be too hard to tell a person is carrying a rifle, firearms and ammo! Until you get past the monitor, there is no entering the school.
