A couple personal thoughts about this. I agree with all of you but if I am at a school it is usually to pick up or drop off my kids. I am not running anywhere until I know they are safe and secure. Then it’s game on.

Also I hold nothing against any officers who may fire upon me, wound me or even kill me. I hope they may be able to see I am trying to engage the bad guy but if they see a guy in street clothes with a gun and and can’t differentiate between the good guy and the bad guy and they eliminate the guys with the guns then so be it.

But keep in mind this is from my unique perspective as I WORK as a professor.

I agree, I would have run in as well, as an Infantry Soldier we are trained to go towards the gunfire. BUT we face one HUGE factor here. It's a 3rd degree felony in Fl to carry or posses a gun on school grounds. I am sure that doesn't stop most of you from doing your daily routines. And in the moment you aren't thinking of the end result of your actions. This is why we need to fight to get rid of the Gun Free School act.

Oh no, you can't do that...why if schools weren't gun free zones, kids might bring guns to school and shoot people //sarcasm off

Yes, I have this issue too. I don't every have a firearm when I am dropping off or picking up Kaden from school. BUT I would still run in to do something. I wouldn't know unless in that situation but he was a LEO there for that purpose.....I have a hard time with that.
