The Florida Guardian program isn't intended to allow any teacher to simply start carrying her little .25ACP or .38 snub in her purse. A lot of the 144 hours of training that will be required of anyone becoming an armed staff member is on safe selection, carry, and retention.
And if that training is being conducted by the local law enforcement branch, I wonder how much of it is close to academy training. Last I checked, which was decades ago, the academy for reserve officer in Florida was 800 hours. If this is a quality training program, you're already 1/4 of the way there.
