Why not? I doubt there's more than two or three school districts in the whole State where it's legal to carry.

^ True, I do think we are up to four now...but have you heard the saying, "I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6!"

I have more than a few school teacher friends, and I think I can say without a doubt that as soon as it was apparent that the gunfire was "blanks" (I think they would have figured it out pretty quick), the "shooters" would have been on the floor bleeding and bruised

Some "boot to da head" action.

This was another instance of ignorant recklessness by school officials who have no clue how to teach people to counter a violent attack.

If their training had been remembered or if some of the "victims" had simply given some thought to what they would do ahead of time, the fake attackers could have been serious injured or killed by persons acting completely reasonably in their own defense by seizing one of the blank guns and making a contact shot to the head, or using a chair as an impact weapon.

Luckily nothing bad happened this time, but, IMHO, the folks who put this together showed a depraved indifference to human life.

Especially if one of those teachers had been former military (combat type) or LEO, and their REAL training had kicked in? (Think of the "Troops to Teachers" program from a while back.) The sheer stupidity of some organizations is beyond belief.

This is absolutely insane. I feel that I am a "fight" not "flight" person in such a "no-win" situation. Without a way to get out, I would have had to enter the fray with whatever makeshift weapon I could muster - a chair, pencil to the neck, massive beat down. To think that in such a rage I could possible severely injure or kill one of these bogus assailants in outrageous.

This was just reckless. The lawsuits would fly from all sides, I'm sure.

Yeah, and in all those other districts the public schools are also infested with the same kinds of liberal idiocy.
