It sounds like they have a workable plan . I like the teacher training aspect and think the idea is pretty well thought out over all . What kind of ammo would " minimize the risk of ricochet in school halls " ?

Yep, there's something fishy going on here.....this plan would actually enable the teachers to PROTECT our children and themselves........got to be something I'm missing.......

There is a lot of new frangible ammunition out there now, and it works pretty good. The Glaser was one of the first marketable, and was ok, but there are others out there that are much better.

Extreme Shock is one, and it seems to work pretty good. It will penetrate the thin skin of a human, but then expands and basically turns to dust, if it hits a wall, it just turns to powder.

This is the kind of news I like to see as I'll be graduating this year and hopefully taking a teaching job somewheres in Pennsylvania. I wonder if it will spread?

We can only hope . My eldest daughter quit being a teacher due to the atmosphere of our schools here in this part of Texas .

Ever shoot frangible into gelatin for testing?

It doesn't work well, will shatter pretty much on contact. Not useful for anything but up close training.
