I agree with the sprawl issue. Especially at a college campus.

I think the locked door would be problematic at a college but adapatble. In college people are free to come and go as they please and every day someone is runing late. I'd have to stop every time and let them in. Disruptive but perhaps safer unless the shooter is one of the students in the class. I dont know how that would play out if people are confined to the classroom or trapped where they cant get to the door to get out and the help cant get in. The guy at V-tech chained the doors shut in a similar fashion. Seems ripe for the hostage situation as well.

I dont understand how a techer with a concealed carry permit is two different people. The teacher could have a concealed carry permit and be sitting at the table next to you and your family at a resturant with a gun. And that is OK because he/she went through the proper legal channels and the police trust him/her enough. But when the teacher crosses the campus border he/she becomes a complete imbisile incapable of handling the risks and responsibilties he/she already accepts. Why and how?

If its so rare and so costly then leave it to personal choice. I thought personal choice was a big deal these days so allow the teachers to make a choice. Lift the gun free zone BS. Its not about saving everybody its about saving yourself. If you can save yourself and it helps everybody then thats great. But it should be about saving yourself.

If you want cheap. The concealed weapons permit costs the carrier more than the provider. If you want training then make the carrier pay for the training if they want to carry on campus. Have full disclosure with pictures and meetings with police, faculty, and adminstraters of who is carrying at school and when they will be there. Very cheap and very responsible.
