I didn't know there was such a thing as "lockdown generation" but I guess it makes sense. Not sure fighting back would be an effective option for very many people.

It’s hard to fight back when only the bad guy has a gun.

Running is a good option and seems underutilized.

You are only supposed to fight when running or hiding is not possible, when you can’t escape or your hiding place is discovered.

Don’t just close your eyes and wait to die, fight back.

The people who wrote this ard morons that don’t understand basic concepts of survival.

Here’s another option:

Ready. Aim. Fire.

The leftist approach: run, hide, kiss your ass goodbye.

Run, find cover, check battery, check mag, assess backstops, assess alternate cover, ...

(it’s a process so the list goes on in ever evolving priorities)

... assess egress routes, contemplate cover stories and alibis, burn clothes, ... plan dinner,

I prefer "Draw, aim, shoot"

But that is just me.

How about allowing law abiding students who are licensed to conceal carry a firearm to exercise their second amendment rights on campus just like they can off-campus?

But critics say it’s misguided to teach students, especially younger ones, to fight back. Some school safety experts say it needlessly puts students in danger, and opponents push for stronger lockdown policies and better training for school safety officials.

Fighting as a last resort when confronted by an armed shooter, is NOT going to end well. He has the gun. You don't.

The solution is Constitutional carry, which would allow anyone armed to take out the shooter. He cannot fight everyone at once and while he's engaged with one person, someone can get him from another direction.

It should be attack, fight, kill.

I think you are right about fighting back not being an effective option. The problem for me is that having people hide may end up making them easier targets. I doubt decent hiding places have more than one way in or out.

Being told to hide or shelter in place doesn’t work for me.

How sad we have a generation of cowards.

How about LEAVE THE AREA, if the campus is hosting a shooter, leave it quickly and carefully.
