It is disheartening, and maybe not as effective as we hope, but, what's more disheartening, is having a bunch of kids die, while waiting for the police to arrive 5-10 minutes later. While having AR 15s in a safe, may not be the fastest way to confront an active shooter, it is still faster than not having the firepower at all.
Also, if word gets out that there is a chance that a shooter will be confronted, by trained officers, with rifles, it may cause them to reconsider their plan. As the old saying goes an ounce of prevention.......
JMHO
And the officers will probable have their sidearm with them at all times, I'd think.
