Veterans create bulletproof bookcases for schools
As mass shootings continue to plague American life, whether it be inside schools or workplace, military veteran Jake Ahle said he isn’t waiting around for the next mass causality.
He and Pete Facchini, both New Jersey natives, have created a line of bulletproof bookcases that can serve as a last line of defense when a mass shooter enters the premises.
“The bookcase itself weighs 480 pounds, the exoskeleton is made of steel and it’s lined with Kevlar,” Ahle told Nexstar’s WPIX. “Hidden underneath the bottom of the steel skirt are four wheels and those wheels make it a very mobile.”
If an active shooter enters the school, the bookcase can be wheeled in front of any classroom entrances. Once the bookcaseis secured and locked in place, which takes a matter of seconds, the would-be shooter would not have any access inside the room, and would only be met with a mounted mirror on the back of them.

WHY SHOULD THIS EVEN BE NECESSARY????
= new reply since forum marked as read
Wile E Coyote….super genius.
And add a gunport for the teacher to shoot out of
Not to mention how much the books inside it would add to the weight?
Yeah, that's gonna happen. 
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised because everyone has different life experiences, but it amazes me that folks are unaware of how easy it is to roll something heavy across a flat, hard floor.
One doesn’t even have to use wheels (of course they’re more convenient if they’re an option). I once moved a 2000 lb safe by myself using a pry bar, some small wooden wedges, and a few lengths of PVC pipe to act as rollers.
All that said, I think a heavy duty door lock would be cheaper, faster, easier, and just as effective.
I do.
There is one across the street from me.
For a good part of the day, it looks like this:
Now, you and persons of your ilk want to ensure that, in the event of an active shooter, that these kids all have to go to the SINGLE entrance that is available to get inside the school. That way the shooter can be sure to kill as many as possible, since the kids won't scatter to go into the nearest one of multiple entrances.
The other way you want to help the shooter is to make sure that anyone already inside has barricaded the doors, so that the kids who are last to get into the school are locked out of the rooms as targets.
it is Wile E. Coyote thinking. People who come up with these stupid fucking ideas in order to preserve the sanctity of gunz gunz gunz, think that the shooter is going to cooperate with the stupid scheme that Mr. Coyote has devised.
Kids are not passively sitting in classrooms all day.
Yes, if something goes wrong out there, that school had better be wide open for the kids to reach safety. Why do you want to trap them?
But, no, let's spend billions of dollars to harden 87,000 elementary schools, so that everyone can have their precious guns, and some dope with a dumb idea can get rich.
Barricade them into one bullet proof windowless room all day long! Who needs fresh air and exercise! Saves money on gym and playground equipment, too! We can’t infringe on anyone’s 2nd amendment rights!
And then tell the NRA where they can go shove it!
