As far the best "equipment" to survive an assault from an armed assailant who is intent to kill you with semi-automatic weapon for no reason while in a firearms restricted zone in rural/suburban America? I suggest body armor, a fitness regiment and the previously mentioned situational awareness.
Well, you did answer the original question after implying the topic is pointless. So, you are now officially a member of this pointless discussion.
They're part of the group that thinks violence simply won't happen to them, ever.
I live in the Bronx and am often in some of the worst neighborhoods in the country so I am not in the "violence won't happen" camp. I just become curious when I hear about people from suburban America spending lots of money/time preparing for muggings/break-ins while generally ignoring their obesity/smoking/etc when they rarely even know someone who has every been assaulted.
The thread topic is about reacting to a shooter at a school, not about fixing the other dangers you mentioned. If you do a search, you'll find other threads for that. Anyway, just about every adult I know can relay a story about a home invasion in or near their neighborhood, and I live in suburbia and know a lot of people across the country. So, I strongly disagree with your statement about suburbanites rarely knowing someone who has ever been assaulted.
