I heard a radio show caller say that when police discharge their firearms while on duty, the rate at which they hit their target is less than 1 in 3.
I researched and found data on NYC that puts it at 34%.

I found that to be interesting and relevant to a discussion of arming teachers in schools.
Here's the thing. We could put crack shots in every classroom and it won't make a difference. The next shooter (and there will be a next shooter) will just shoot up a daycare center. Or a mall. Or a school bus. Or a nunnery. Or a lady's garden party. Or a Starbucks. Or a Congressman's town hall meeting.
