Remember tornado drills? Now it is Shootout drills! (Mexican, drug, border)

How long until this is a necessary precaution in schools US border cities?

Mexico schools teach 'shootout drills' | dailyrecord.com | Daily Record+

"MEXICO CITY — Schools across Mexico are teaching students to dive to the floor and cover their heads as the violence-torn country sees more urban gunfights between drug gangs.

At least nine shootouts have erupted in school zones since mid-October, three of them in the past month."

If students were taught here, perhaps a few lives would have been saved at places like the Columbine?

We never had tornado drills but we practiced hiding under our desks in case a bomb was dropped.

Back to the days of nuclear threat drills.

Time to take this nation back, from the idiots.

Yes, I agree. Believe me, I am all for training drills for safety. Just sad that it has come to this as we watch the violence spread across the border and Obama does nothing but sue AZ. This kind of training on the US side needs to happen sooner rather than later in cities such as El Paso. At this rate kids in Chicago might benefit from it too.

If I had a child in an area with such problems I'd send them to school with some bullet blocking technology in their back-pack or notebook.

We must be the same age. I remember the air raid and bombing raid drills. Ah,the good old days of black window shades and sirens wailing.

By the way, I think the shootout drills at the beginning of each new school year are a good idea all over the country.

WHAT?

To see products to stop bullets from penetrating furnished as backpacks and notebooks in schools and classrooms in this country? We're a third-world country already.
