“This is about doing what is right for this community and these kids. And if we need to put ourselves in situations where we have to go thru some scenarios of things that God forbid ever happen, and then we need to prepare our teachers. We owe it to our children.” – Farmington (MO) schools assistant superintendent Dr. Ashley Krause, St. Francois Co. teachers complain after being shot with fake guns [at kmov.com]

Defecate on my car will you? This will show’em!
Maybe she should consider the reasons why she puts up with the bad behavior culture that her students come from. Maybe she should find a way to help drive these kids in the right direction unstead of continuing to allow them to live in homes where mediocrity and teen pregnancy and punk culture is celebrated. After all, it’s “for the children.”
Wrong target, bub. Farmington is semi-rural, and the area is full of good folks. This is NOT an urban gang-banger type highschool. Aside from the occasional meth lab, the Farmington area is very low crime – especially the kids.
So for the children we train the faculty to catch bullets like a champ?
Getting the perp to unload all the ammo in you is one strategy. Not my first choice but it’s a strategy.
Perhaps they know what would really happen when they advise people to bum rush the shooter when they are reloading?
Wow, four comments have now posted without the anticipated outrage and ‘SafetySusies’. I’m impressed.
Awesome photo… love it!
Have a Beretta Tomcat in 32. Would like a 9mm but anything I have tried can not beat the Tomcat for me. Maybe some day…
Well, they haaave to do something. It’s a shame that “something” isn’t giving designated teachers AR’s. Oh well, I guess using your body to shield a hail of bullets is almost as good.
Dr. Ashley Krause, is thinking in reality and choosing to be pro active. Something I wish was standard and not the exception.
Easier way. It can be done legislatively. Simply make it a capital offense for any US legislator to propose any alteration of the first ten amendments to the Constitution. Punishable by life imprisonment, forfeiture of all family assets, and a revocation of citizenship.
Call it the Bill of Rights Protection Act.
If they ever try that shit in FL, they better be prepared to have a lot of shot officers, including the one(s) who show up at my door. 12 ga 00 buck WILL go through my front door with plenty of poop left to drop someone on the other side.
Rule #1. Don’t die.
Initially I would (hide, run, or fight) depending on which option seems most likely to uphold rule 1.
If hiding or running to cover, keep in mind the difference between cover (can’t bee seen, will stop a bullet) and concealment (can’t be seen, will not stop a bullet).
Then it’s time to assess the situation, do I help others escape, or am I in a position to take action, keeping in mind RF’s good questions to ponder. If I can do something without violating rule 1, it’s game on.
“More than 80 years ago, John Dillinger’s gang stole a Thompson submachine gun from a police station in Auburn, Indiana. Thursday, after spending all but three months of that time in FBI custody, the gun was returned to the Auburn Police Department…”
Except that from ’34 ’til some time in ’66 it was a guest of the Tucson PD.
And I thought the antis were bad at math…
