While having this in play may reduce the number of deaths in a shooting but it will not stop them.
Thank you, Captain Obvious.
Can you please address the rest of my post?
Just wondering what your thoughts are on it.
Yeah, sorry, I didn't mean to be a dick.
You are correct, it presents itself as an interesting problem on the operational level. If a gunman takes a student hostage, will the teacher be able to handle?
On one hand, most of these shootings don't involve hostages being taken. Rather the shooter just runs around, blasting as many poor souls as if he's playing an arcade game at Chuckie Cheeses.
On the other hand, when hostages are taken, it's mostly in a fashion where the shooter and his hostages are barred up in a room, and he is making demands from the police. In this case, the teacher wouldn't be handling it, SWAT and other tactical teams would.
Fair enough i can see your point in that most hostage situations would be handled by SWAT and not teachers.I myself did not actually remember that bit of information.
I did not see it was being a dick, i just saw it as someone that assumed it would be a post bashing guns like other posts in the thread.
I just wish this was not needed to feel safe but its not my place to say whether it is good or bad since i am not in The UNited States.
