Feds advise school employees to fight back

The guide says that, though it may be frightening, staff should be asked to consider confronting active shooters as a last resort, noting that in a study, 16 out of 41 active-shooter events were stopped by potential victims. But, it specifies, "the possibility of an active-shooter situation is not justification for the presence of firearms on campus in the hands of any personnel other than law enforcement."
So what are they supposed to fight back with, yardsticks?

Maybe throwing erasers and chalk would deter an armed nut-job!

How about crossing two index fingers and walking toward the nut job. You know, as one would for Dracula. :roll:

Lets see you have 10 armed people with their guns out and all shoot at the supposed shooter. Not to smart to have armed citizens in a shoot out! All you end up with is a bunch of dead misidentified innocents!
Ever been in a fire fight?

Particularly with a school full of kids in panic mode milling around the gunfight.
