This is from an excellent thread on Pistol-Forum.com:
I've
heard several professors make jokes about active shooter type events
and they laugh off the possibility of one happening where I attend
school.
It's probably worth a reminder that this is an entirely sane
attitude. These sort of events are incredibly rare. We're all members of
a subculture that likes to be prepared for a specific set of
low-probably high-impact problems. People who don't are not necessarily wrong.
Even in our subculture, we probably spend too much time worrying about
this sort of risk vs. other violent encounters. When I attended college
in an urban center, the odds of an active shooter on campus was very
small vs the regular armed robbery of students walking home at night.
