afaik training isn't a prerequiste to being armed, im not talking about mandatory requirements - teachers aren't the police. Rather if an individual wished to bring weapons to school, they should be allowed to do so.

Storing guns in school (no matter how secure) has at least two major flaws.
1) A crazy pupil could break in and find an arsenal on hand. If this was avoided with some kind of biometric protection (rather than a key or passcode, which could be stolen with enough vigilence) the cost would sky rocket.

You don't usually store guns if you carry them for personal protection.

2) Even if a pupil brought in their own weapons, it is very different to operate a firearm under such stressful conditions especially if you have to shoot a human being. this becomes more pronounced considering most school shooters (afaik) end up killing themselves.

What does that have to do with your right to carry a gun? so what if most school shooters kill themselves, id rather kill them before they kill me.

In the end, I don't really see how 'more guns in schools=less shootings in schools' can be accurate.

More guns in schools = More chance of gunman being killed before doing harm.
