Arms Vaults in Schools?

That might work with the panic button idea. So no one can get in, but people can get out.

That often adds to the problem. People dont want to be locked in a room and may flee out of overwhelming fear even though they were safe where they were at. . Mass pandemonium hinders the police and adds to the shooters favor.

There are about 4,000 school fires reported a year. Far more probable than shootings.

I can see having a panic button at the teacher’s desk for that room.

A fire is a very real possibility. All windows in a classroom should be designed as a route of egress over a crowded hallway.

I think by the time the teacher knows what is going on it is too late. In Uvalde, the police and the admin knew about the shooter in the school before any of the teachers did.

And the inevitable panic?

The last paragraph has other potential fixes than a remote control locking of all doors. What would be wrong with an old time town-wide tornado-type alarm? Or an amber alert type deal?

Running away can also save lives.

It’s even taught.

Which to me seems like a weakness of the system.

The fastest responders would be teachers and administrators. It would be better to train them (if they so desire; and I suspect many of them would) on the operational use of the AR-15 and give them access.

I don’t think they’re ready for that. It may come later, if necessary.

[TheRedComet]

That’s certainly true. The town leadership and the school board may not be ready for that discussion due to the political issues that could arise.

I’m just a believer in speed and violence of action. Those who are closest can respond the fastest. Time is always the key in a situation like that.

So basically install mini armories in every school.

Axe and fire extinguisher. In case of fire break glass.

What’s the problem?

Not very secure is it.

So you want weapons behind glass that can be broken with an axe which is also on hand?

A sheriff in North Carolina wants to put safes in six schools that will store AR-15s, Breaching Equipment, and anything else that may be needed to put down an armed intruder.

He says if there is a armed intruder in one of his schools, he doesnt want his officers to have to go back to their vehicles, or wait on anything. He wants everything they need to be on site in the safe so they are completely ready to engage and shut down the threat.

Seems like this guy is on to something.

I can’t even imagine how quickly a safe full of guns and rabbit tools and ■■■■ would have been stolen in my high school. But it would have been quick.

Oh bull ■■■■

A bolt in the wall that slides into a hole in the door would suffice. It could be behind glass, wired like a fire alarm to prevent tampering.

[SixFoot]

They should include armed veterans in those vaults.

Wouldn’t they get hungry?

[SixFoot]

Not if you feed and water them everyday. Having a Vet is a big responsibility.

[GWH]

Just don’t pull a Bob Barker and have them spayed or neutered.

It was a precedence, not a plan. The safe is fine if they do certain things.

[GWH]

I’m for them as a deterrent more than ease of access. Otherwise they’d just equip each officer with an AR. It’d be cheaper.

It’s performative. But you never know…

[GWH]

They should fit the first run of these with a rubber bullet pack that explodes upon opening the vault. Give the officers AR’s and breech equipment. Then when a shooter tries to break into one, some Wiley Coyote ■■■■ happens to him.
