I dont see why windows couldnt be designed as emergency exits like on busses and planes. Most schools built today are single floors

So basically install mini armories in every school.
Fun and games if they get it mixed up with the art cupboard and give the wrong key to an 8 year old.
Maybe. But getting 30 kids out a window during a fire might not be the best thing.
Like I said, interesting idea, but not sure it’s perfect.
I don’t understand this either.
Unless police are regularly positioned inside the school?
Axe and fire extinguisher. In case of fire break glass.
What’s the problem?

They aren’t.
Key?

They are for the benefit of the SROs.
“Having a deputy just armed with a handgun isn’t enough to stop these animals,” Sheriff Buddy Harwood said. “That’s why I’ve decided to arm all of my school resource officers with AR-15 rifles.”

“Armed” is on a spectrum.
And most people can’t hit water standing in a boat with a pistol.

This is like an insurance policy. The mere fact that this stuff is in place, would move a shooter to a softer target. You know, like a gun free zone.

do you seriously think an 8 year old is going to confuse a gun safe with the crayon cabinet, and then open it?
(someone on left really would, so serious question)
Yeah, but a solution that ends up with kids locked in class rooms during a fire night not even be “good”. Right?
Relax, it was a joke.
Im sure they understand the distinction.
Im not sure i would trust 100% of 8 years olds not to take advantage of the situation.
