Lockdown and prepare to counter and/or evacuate

Counter attack. Throw crap. Barricade the door.
Evacuate. Escape.
I was about to post what they train the school kids with now, but then decided I don't want to publicise the strategy, especially considering how many posters on here fit the profile.
And later at recess the children took out their imaginary guns and began shooting one another in immitation of the thousands of hours of TV violence they have been exposed to in their short lifetimes and routinely practiced on their video games.
Yeah, I can't tell you how many kids play zombie apocalypse which is a game where you shoot pretend invisible zombies with invisible weapons (crossbow, guns, grenades, etc.) and make guns out of legos and other blocks.

Many second amendment believers would disagree with the militia part and claim it is for guns period.
We had lock down drills in Florida; entire school including Pre-K. Twice there were real lock downs with gunmen on campus. Both were perps who ran on campus to escape a robbery and a murder. We did not tell the kids that this was a real incident. They surmised it was when the lock down lasted more than a few minutes, police sirens, etc. Those drills did prepare them for the real thing.
In NY (30 miles from Ground Zero) we had "terrorist drills", but did not tell the little kids what they really were for, but the older kids knew it.
Edit: That Florida Public School had armed Deputies in police County squad cars on campus at all times. That did not stop these gunmen from running on to campus, but the Deputies did block the exits, and call for more backup immediately.
Should have a machine gun emplacement outdoors on every corner of the school building, and one at each end of every hallway …oh, and in the cafeteria and library ...

Ricochet, contagious gunfire and stray bullets. I was in the boy scouts and was at event where a kid got hit by a stray, luckily he lived.
While "logic" is on the table, where is the logic in cramming all the kids into a closet so the imaginary shooter will have all the targets concentrated in one place?
Even the Army, messed up as it is, won't allow targets to be concentrated, not even in the chow line!
Is it even logical to close the blinds? That prevents law enforcement personnel from looking in to see what is going on in that room. The Perp is probably already inside the building!
"Logic" has little to do with any aspect of the situation. All responses are driven by fear and emotion. Very little real THINKING has been done!

The Federal Government, IMO, dropped the ball here. The DCM (Director of Civilian Marksmanship) was supposedly tasked with ensuring that all civilians who wanted it had training in shooting, both long guns and pistols. The DCM also made military surplus weapons and ammunition available to civilian buyers at reduced cost.
That program is pretty much dead. The "well regulated militia" is the responsibility of the government, BY LAW. THEY have failed the citizens of the United States, and the citizens have
ALLOWED it to happen!
Do you remember who the government IS, in our Constitutional Republic? That's right, YOU and YOU and YOU and ALL OF YOU and I are the GOVERNMENT!
At least WE are supposed to be!
