I can see multiple ways this “shelter” would be ineffective or used by a school shooter to his advantage.

Second, I find it discomforting if someone is looking to profit from this idea.

Third….what in the actual fuck?!? That anyone would look at this idea as a salve and not a symptom of a massive problem that urgently needs a different manner of addressing gun violence.

There's a reason saferooms aren't really used outside of movies, especially with large groups of random, untrained people who aren't ready for emergencies like that. For the shooter, it actually makes a great point to hold and fall back into, as well as it conveniently gathering victims for them. Sure, no one can get in after it shuts (assuming it was made by someone intelligent, and built correctly), which tells me after the first handful of people get there they'll be terrified/panicking and such the door most likely anyway.

Well, the fucking drop ceiling above the "shelter" could easily allow a determined shooter to breach it.

Just slide a desk or two over, pop your head through and unleash hell on the trapped students.

Brilliant.
