(16,191 posts)Approaching an idiot like this with a gun drawn is an invitation to a prison term. You're much better off getting in his way and making it clear that you're going to beat him into unconsciousness if he takes another step toward the school. I'm a pretty big guy, and I spend at least 10 hours a week at the gym and am in great shape physically, so I don't have much fear of an old fashioned fistfight.
If he's dumb enough to try and draw, all bets are off. Since morons like this tend to use their firearms to compensate for the fact that they're cowardly little shits who feel powerless in the "real world", I'd call it 50/50 that he would.
I'm a lifelong gun owner and have nothing against either firearms ownership OR open carry, but the entire reason for carrying around schools like this is to intimidate, and I learned a long time ago that the quickest way to get rid of a bully is to stand up to him. The police have their hands tied because of the law, but parents don't.
