I didn’t read all the responses, but I purchased my wife a bodyguard 2.0…
It is smaller than my 43x, has a safety, and holds 12rnds.

Maybe have her type up what she thinks of it thats the one shes wanting to hear about.

You want a carry gun with a safety? Let me guess, you won’t have a round in the pipe either?

I'm rethinking the whole thing altogether at the moment. My reason for wanting one was to carry while at school and it has since been pointed out to me that that would be a felony if I were to be caught doing so. Even so, I'd been considering getting a carry gun for years now anyways, so I may still end up getting one. Getting new guns is always fun.

I was hoping someone had experience with the S&W SD40 2.0 but it appears as though no one does.

Im not how your schools are set up or if your an employee or what. But my wife is a nurse at our school, they have a company come in do a walk through, stage a school intruder, and teach the staff on what needs to be done. They recommend staff to carry. Not every staff just certain ones, that has a back ground, been trained, and one that wouldnt hesitate to pull the trigger. I know the board approved it with in our school on who could carry. So we do have staff that does, I know that was closed session with in the meeting so im not sure who was approved to do so and what all they had to go through to qualify.. my wife is in charge of the safety, and she doesnt even know. I know not all school systems are like this, but maybe you could do some digging and asking if you so maybe you could qualify. I think more trained staff should be able to carry. But the main question from the instructor wasnt who was qualified to carry, was who would pull the trigger more time then not its going to be a student. Made me set back and think a little on this, be a tough decision.

now for the teachers out there , do you have an IFAK and do you know how to use it (Individual First Aid Kit)

I was at a training last week where we were training on a mass shooter event , the training was not the go in and stop portion it was everything after , the training was the logistics and process of triaging , first aid , and transporting to the ambulance rally point.

the tools are chest seals , tourniquets , quick clot gauze packing , and compression bandages. we were told while there is a needle decompression needle in the kit it was only for paramedic and above.

oh and remember to think about something for a litter because you have to move potentially multiple people from a Yellow building , it is initially cleared but it is a crime scene and not fully secured and it won't be for hours, how do you move the people to the ambulance.

triage is an interesting one the color code system black , grey , red , yellow , green and it changes by the number of responders to patients

if you have 1 responder and many patients you probably have a bunch of grey
if you have 4 responders per patient you can make a bunch of those grey , red.

consider learning how to be a responder. everyone wants to step up when it is canceling the threat but you can help a LOT as a responder and the stop the bleed training isn't difficult.

Our school has individual kits in kitty litter boxes, also my wife teaches staff on proper use of each item and what to do, when, how and where. She is a instructor of stop the bleed training, and this coming year all school districts are making it mandatory to get staff certified in stop the bleed, the last few years she just did it on her own when she taught cpr, and blood borne pathogens.
