I did not go well for the students in the test because it was a dangerous scenario that most people are not prepared to face.
If there were two shooters in the room who were bent on killing students, it would have been worse for the students if they did not have any guns. There would have been a better chance to stop the two gunmen with more guns in the room.
My highschool teacher way back when gave us a scenario to think about. What if a gunman came into the classroom, blocking the only exit and started shooting? He would have time to stop and reload because most people would not rush the gunman out of instinct and fear. I think about this scenario a lot and hope that I would have mentally prepared myself to take action.
The tragic events at colleges shootings lately are terrible, but I don't think it is wise to arm every student with a handgun just yet.
For the record, I support responsible gun ownership.
