I'm not sure how this relates or belongs in this topic but just so this misinformation isn't spread without some further knowledge here's a link to a few examples. There are plenty more but I figured I would find something not too politically oriented.
Actually after reading that article I posted it's kind of sad to think in how many of those situation the person had to run out to their car before being able to stop the situation. Seems to be a common thread in quite a few of those stories.
There was an armed vet on campus during that school shooting a month or two ago. At the "gun free zone" he said he purposely DIDN'T run into the classroom being shot up for fear police would shoot him dead.
That was just what I found in a 10 second search and it was the first thing that came up that wasn't too political, I skipped over quite a few. I believe you said it was a myth and never happened. It's worth noting that if anything like that happens it doesn't make for a very big news story so it doesn't get much exposure.
What exactly are you even trying to say here? That shooter shouldn't be handled with guns?
A good many are brought down by themselves as mass shooters tend to be suicidal, a situation that isn't just immediately confronted even by law enforcement.
We'll send the bus drivers after the offender
You don't fight fire with fire... you say please.
That will arrive in 20 minutes.
I agree with that. Not sure what point that makes. I think and would hope in those situations that someone who isn't trained to handle that type of situation would act carefully and responsibly. Given a life or death situation I would gladly take someone with some training though. If I'm lying on the ground dying of a heart attack and there's only a high school kid who's a life guard I'll take him but of course would prefer a doctor, same applies here and of course there's potential to do more harm. You generally just have to hope for the best.
Patience is a virtue. Better to be righteous than alive it seems.
