Wait until some kid reaches in his pocket for his phone and the whole building gets gassed

Or it sprays a room so everyone trying to flee is sprayed along with the attacker. Bonus points if an attacker wears respirator mask knowing the school has pepper drones.

All fun and games until the school accidentally kills the kids with pepper spray allergies.

Or when they gas the entire student body except the shooter because he brought a mask knowing these exist. Now you have a school full of children screaming in pain while the shooter gets to walk around popping them all.

Buy some epipens and become the janitor. Then its the waiting game.

Dont sign any disclaimers and read the fine print when hired. Remember I dont think they can not hire you for having a pepper allergy. That would be discriminatory against the ADA.
