Not much good against an axe-wielding rampager, though.

that’s a lot of axe wielding to get through a school door.

Wait until the axe slips through and pull it out of the assholes hands unlock the door and chop him into tiny little pieces.

Upper swing to clear the balls.

This is pretty cool, and could help those who shelter-in-place during an active shooter situation.

It is a partial solution, however. Not everyone will be in a position to shelter-in-place.

There has to be an immediate, armed response as well.

Very doubtful.

"Will be effective only with a solid core door"

With solid core walls. Drywall is easily breached.

What people are forgetting is that if you fortify the building a determined psycho will wait for the Friday night game and target the bleachers. Or the school busses.

No one is forgetting that except in your imagination.

this is 10,000 times better than all the sadly-misguided young ‘demostrators’ demanding this or that or the other thing, none of which would make anyone any safer..

Even if Mankind(personkind in Canada?)could have selective amnesia about firearms, man was able to slaughter his fellow man without the invention of gunpowder.

The Parkland Brats will be sorely disappointed.

Wait till the LIBERALS get together and figure since he designed and built it in the SCHOOL SHOP, was working out of the SCHOOL, that they will invoke the BO mantra

“YOU DIDN’T BUILD THAT”,

Then tax the crap out of him and make him sorry he ever suggested it when he can’t produce it fast enough for .02 LOSS per unit....

Every Friday Night game I went to were ably attended by local law enforcement, both active and retired. And lots of adults of which a select few I knew were "carrying"

Your local may vary.

“There has to be an immediate, armed response as well.”

Yes. Team sport.

Problem is when the FBI or Sheriff’s department are not on the team for political reasons.

No greater cowards exist at the moment than those Broward Co. cowards in America today. Yellow bellied.

The sick secret is the Sheriff gave a stand down order.
Who’s got the scanner recording.
Wait for it...

I was unaware that the word teen could be used to describe somebody other than a perp

This is a prime example as to why our high schools should never have eliminated shop from the curriculum. Kudos to this young man and his creativity!

Can it be shot out. Has THAT been tested?

No. I believe that is covered in the article. (I read it at another website.)

Am I correct in remembering that no school shooter has yet breached a locked door?

If you are correct, part of the reason is that the shooter doesn't want to be waste time breaching a door; he wants to move on to easier targets.

Shooters don’t need to get through doors when the kids are running around the school during lunch or between classes.

I guess locking doors is just to complex a solution. Or maybe it’s just not inclusive enough. Just locking the bad guy out could be the delaying factor that gets them killed before they can do grave harm.
