School Lockdowns are fun. Never had a person with a gun (Probably because we have good gun laws). However, one time we had lockdown because someone had a knife -.- was still fun though, siren goes and we all stack the tables, close the curtains and face our backs to the walls under the tables

my school only had bomb threats and lockdowns ... no gun nor knife related issues.

Weird, I live pretty close to there, and I havent heard anything about it.

Last year when i was a senior in my high school, the mayor was coming to my school, and someone made a bomb threat...

It was really.. awkward...

Have any of you ever had so many false alarms that you don't take the drills seriously anymore? At my school, we have a fire drill every month but it's been many years since there was actually a fire incident. When the alarm goes off, everyone goes "Gosh darn it, another drill," and we slowly take our time to pack up our books, computers, even musical instruments, then we walk out the door while talking and listening to music. This happens with lockdowns, too, so all we do now is turn off our lights, lock the doors, go on the internet, and sit around in groups to chat with friends.

lol at american (parents) afer 9/11

Some guy from another school brought a knife to my school so we got locked down lawl

Yea, my old school used to do that always and everyone knew it was a drill. I found it stupid that they would do it so often. There's only so much practicing you can do. Once a year is good to inform all the new kids of the drill.

Schools here have had a stupid amount of lockdown drills since before then. Prolly because of Columbine.

Sorry, but i chuckled when the guy started to break down.


We had to do a lock down before, to many gangs at my school.

I used to have alot of those fire drills too. On a day the alarm went off again, but it was a real fire this time. It was in the school kitchen but ours is a safe one. It had fire-proof doors and those water thingies at the roofs. Fire didnt last long and didnt spread.

Never had a lockdown here in Holland, entirely new to me.

My guess is if someone is carrying a knife he will be reported to the police or something, no school lockdown.
How is the lockdown going to help anyways if you don't know who the person is with the knife/gun?
You could've been locked up with the baddie himself and then you're owned.

Only had one lock down, cause some drunk guy was walking about with a shotgun...but yeah whats funny it was one of my moms relatives...i dont really know her side since its pure redneck. But yeah...lasted for like 1 hour.

It's been like this before 9/11.

How about a lockdown at a US Military base?

Lockdown drills are certainly necessary at schools, but they shouldn't do them nearly as often, and certainly not with a predictable pattern. They shouldn't announce the drill either.

Just some random time during the year (maybe a couple times a year) have a random person from the admin office hit the alarms. Keep people on their toes.

Why would that effect me ? If my parents go hit face on by a train .. would I have to avoid the subject of trains for now on ? I mean .. after all hundreds of peopel die per year due to train accidents.

We have lockdowns usually once a year at my HS for drugs.

lol @ that guy starting to cry because his kids don't wanna talk to him and turned their cellphone off.
