To answer you question, it might have made a difference and it might have made it worse. It is impossible to say. And that is the problem with those kind of solutions. I can tell you that if you take that gun out of your fantasy scenario, and place it there all the time, then the chance of problems increase with each day of placement of that weapon in the school.
And will you make firearms training and competence a requirement for teachers? So answer this question, where is the money going to come from?
