Saethelred the UnreadyOn Monday, my wife will drive through the new ten-foot gate and fence surrounding her school where they will fire live rounds so teachers will know what real gunfire sounds like as they learn to apply tourniquets to children.
We feel so free.
Beeks@SethRudy they will almost certainly *not* be firing live rounds. But still vote blue no matter who.
@Beeks the email says they will be firing into a bullet trap, and that participants will be able to smell the powder so as to recognize it.
@SethRudy Holy fuck. What state is this? It has to be Florida right? That's absolutely.... Wow. I'm beyond words. So unnecessary and unsafe.
@Beeks I don't know how safe or unsafe the training is--reports suggest that live shooter training definitively saved lives at the Covenant school in Nashville. It's the apparent necessity of it to which I principally object.
@SethRudy insanity. Live rounds aren't significantly louder than blanks, and certainly in no way necessary to teach a civilian to react appropriately to the sound. Fml I hope no one gets hurt.
