I have two reasons for saying this:
1. If there is an emergency, when the first responders arrive, above all you do not want to be an unidentified (to them) armed man.
2. You can be liable not only for what you do but for what you fail to do. If you leave your classroom and something happens to your students, you could conceivably be sued or otherwise held responsible.
I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. It's just my opinion.
