Which one Manual, Grip or Magazine ?
Seems like the main recommendation is classroom doors that lock from the inside.
The report noted that no active shooter has EVER breached a locked classroom.
Seems like an actual, common sense, low cost step that could actually enhance safety without infringing on anyone’s rights. Sadly, that means it will probably never happen.
Depends on the kind of door too! If they have windows, they can easily be breached, whether or not they are locked.
“The report noted that no active shooter has EVER breached a locked classroom.”
No active shooter has preplanned for that contingency. Now that the plan is out, though, an evil person knows what obstacle needs a solution.
Where are the photos/videos of Lanza entering Sandy Hook Elementary?
Some school doors have those slot windows with the safety wire embedded in the glass. Woe unto anyone that gets an arm through and tries unlocking the door.
