Preparing for a School Shooting: Fight For Your Life

Lt. Col. Dave Grossman and Rob Pincus discuss proactive strategies for school defense in case of a school shooting. Rob’s School Attacker Response Course is based on the fact that the “hide and hope” strategies children have been taught have failed in school shooting situations. SARC teaches kids that their first duty is to evade, then barricade, then respond if the first two don’t work. As Lt. Col. Grossman says, “If you don’t teach kids to do something, you’re teaching them to do nothing.”
