“I don’t know why anyone would want to teach right now,” said Ruth Maxwell, a retired Union County teacher. Maxwell said she can’t imagine how parents must feel about their children’s safety while in class.Guns have been found in several local schools across the Carolinas. In South Carolina, those include Rock Hill High School, Dutchman Creek Middle School and South Point High School.
Last school year, in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, 31 guns were found on campuses.
Retired Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department Detective Lee Ratliff said calls to police for potential guns in schools are increasing.
“We get the call quite often,” Ratliff said. “It’s become more frequent and more recently than we have seen in the past.”
So, some parents looking at bulletproof backpack panels for their children’s protection.
The manufacturer BulletSafe claims its panels can slip into any book bag, which makes it bulletproof against handgun rounds of up to a .44 Magnum. Anthony Trivette, lead gun instructor at Shooter’s Express, helped Channel 9 anchor Damany Lewis test out the bulletproof panels. They used one panel in an empty backpack carrying no school supplies.
As you can see, we have an entry point into the panel, but as you can see, we have no penetration in the back,” Trivette said. “So this panel has operated at 100%.”
BulletSafe doesn’t advertise that the panel could stop a round from an AR-15, so Trivette and Lewis put two panels in a backpack to see if they would stop a round. The two panels did not stop the round; the AR-15 round went through both panels.
The backpack was then filled with notepads and paper to see if that would make a difference. This time, the books inside stopped the round.
“It traveled through an angle, went through all the folders,” Trivette said. “It penetrated the first panel but it did not penetrate the second panel.”
