Outside of Hollywood pulling a gun out of someone else's holster is parallel or harder than getting their wallet or snapping their bra, especially if a holster is under a jacket or has a thumb break. Thumb breaks (a strap holding the thing in the holster with a snap usually) are pretty routine for people who keep unconcealed weapons to prevent grab attempts or the thing falling out if you bump something or roll or whatever. It's really not an issue. Typically when we think off armed teachers we envision a shoulder rig with a thumb break, that's not really a setup you can yank.



The problem we encounter with people on this is usually that because they don't want it they will look for any excuse to claim it is impractical. If you don't want it that is fine, but it is definitely practical and safe. Keep in mind we're also not talking about something mandatory or uncontrolled, a school would have the ability to say 'only under a jacket, only with a thumb break, only if you complete X courses, not in these environments' and so on and meet no objection from most supporting this unless the rules were blatantly stupid or designed to make it nigh impossible.
