those are the ones to use the claw hammer on FIRST.MarkD wrote:Randy: Honestly, if I could get to the staircase, I could probably get out of the building. I'd have to traverse a pretty wide open area and two corridors, with a third intersecting corridor I'd have to bypass. About all the fire hose would do is impede other potential escapees.

I've war gamed this scenario for years now (ever since Columbine probably). In the situation I'm currently in, my best chance is to try to stay out of sight until I can get a clear, undetected approach then engage with something large/hard/heavy. There are a couple people here I would trust enough to work with, and a couple others who would probably offer to show the shooter where everyone is hiding in return for not being shot themselves.
I will NEVER understand that mentality...
My current reality is working in a school (disarmed citizen zone) with 50+ kids. Some of those kids are quite likely to be the one acting like a tard or causing some gangbanger to come in looking for them. We've had a firearm threat on campus on two separate occasions, but bluff and bluster scared them off.
My current plan is to get myself set up as the SRO (school resource officer) so I can legally carry on campus. Then my moving towards the attacker might do something other than buying a few extra seconds for the kids to escape.
Until that comes through, I have a 3" knife and a couple of kids who can probably be trusted to herd the sheeple kids where I direct them. Sucky plan but better then none.
