4 minute helpful video is at the link.

Quote
“If you are caught out in the open and cannot conceal yourself or take cover, you might consider trying to overpower the shooter with whatever means are available,” says the narrator in the video, which shows an office worker pulling scissors out of a desk drawer.

“To protect your hiding place, lock the door if you can. Block the door with heavy furniture,” recommends the male narrator, speaking in measured, authoritative tones.

Other survival strategies promoted in the video include hiding “behind large items such as cabinets or desks. Remain quiet. Silence your cellphone or pager. Even the vibration setting can give away a hiding position.”
Quote
Hawkmoon - Never underestimate another person's capacity for stupidity. Any time you think someone can't possibly be that dumb ... they'll prove you wrong.

This is a society that knows not to run with scissors.

They don't know how to stab with them.
"But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist."

Oooor you could just shoot them with your CCW. When in doubt, go to slide lock.

An entire school of teachers and kids running with scissors!!!  Mass chaos and destruction.  The mass shooter would drop his guns and run screaming.

I don't think these are authentic, the handles are steel.


A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.
Is defenestration possible through the overton window?

Look upthread for the metal lined plastic Glock scissors.

Better yet, grab a homeland security agent and use them as a human shield bullet trap.
