Or is it good enough for public officials to place that kind of protection some eleven minutes and 2.3 miles away from the children in their care?

No the answer is to ban high capacity magazines because after all how many ten round magazines could he go through in 11 minutes while facing children and unarmed teachers?

Yes, it would certainly be unfortunate if I, a mediocre shot at best, but counting on adrenalin, could “bother” or distract the shooter with 18 shots. 18 shots that could give a classroom time to evacuate. 18 shots that could hold the shooter at bay until the experts show up. (this is not a dis of the cops...I live in a big county, I know how long it takes to get to the hinterlands).

Most of you will say “Well, for cripes sake, if ya can’t take ‘em out with 18, WTH are ya doing there?” I’m realistic about my skills. I know that, under pressure, I do what needs to be done. I also know that when “it”...whatever “it” is, is over, I fall apart. So I am realistic enough to say that I would hope that I would do the zipper and get the job done, I KNOW I could at least distract the shooter.

Why on earth should I not have a reasonable amount of ammo to change the outcome?
