My bad Fly, I'm not a ballistics expert but common sense and experience drilling thru dozens of skulls tells me I'd rather be on the recieving end of a buckhsot and not a 39mm bullet. Absolutely nothing other than a steel stud sent at a perfect angle or the bullet itself is going to get anywhere near your dura if it hits you in the cranium thru a wall. Ribs have cancellous bone so they're easier to penetrate, but the fascia you have there that you don't have on your skull provides good compensation versus a secondary blast. As a laymen it would be much safer for me to aim a shotgun down a hallway at 3am in the dark and just let it rip. I would be more likely to score on an intruder that way. Granted, you Verm and G-Fist probably have night vision goggles, laser sights and artillery support so you get more options than I do. I'm fine with you guys being armed to the tooth, but to tell me that there's already too many weapons out there anyway and fuck it just sounds like defeatist thinking.

Here is a good article by a special forces member regarding this exact topic http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/20...t-shooting.html

Arming teachers is fine with me, but if you go to your local elementary school I think what you're going to find are primarily women, and I doubt that the vast majority of them want to serve as hybirds much less pick up a firearm in the first place. We can put our shit ton of unemployed veterans in schools as armed guards ( they had 2 armed guards at Columbine, look how that worked out ) and hope that they can stop the massacres in time, but I think you would need a handful of them instead of one or two and we are already dramatically low on funds for law enforcement.

I just think that it's a sad state of affairs when our society is in a situation where we have to have metal detectors and armed security around our 6 year olds. There have to be other ways to address this epidemic.
