Active Shooter - What to Do
The latest 'Weekly Update' from Fairfax County, VA:
Whether it’s an incident like Wednesday’s shooting in San Bernardino, Calif., or you are in the checkout line at the mall or drafting an email in your cubicle – what would you do if you heard gun shots and realized an active shooter was nearby? Just like in any other emergency situation, the best thing you can do is to be prepared with information on what to do next. Take a few minutes to review the three options that will help you to quickly determine how to protect yourself. Run If there is an escape route, attempt to evacuate. Leave your belongings behind. Follow instructions of responding emergency personnel. Hide Hide in an area out of the active shooter’s view. Block entry to your hiding place and lock the doors. Send a text message to 9-1-1 if you’re able, but ensure your safety first. Fight As a last resort and only when life is in imminent danger. Attempt to incapacitate the active shooter. Act with physical aggression and throw items at the active shooter. If you can't run, and you can't hide, then attempt to incapacitate the shooter. How? I'd suggest shooting the son of a bitch. Of course, the liberals would rather you point at him and go 'BANG'. -- Ban idiots, not guns! |

There are sheriffs encouraging people to carry if they have the license in light of these terrorists. BTW the "fight if you have to" plan is becoming more popular with programs like ALICE. The fight plan includes causing a chose and throwing everything you can find at the shooter I seem to remember someone here suggesting that and being ridiculed |

The fight plan includes causing a chose and throwing everything you can find at the shooter I seem to remember someone here suggesting that and being ridiculed I don't know how you can consider being careful of what you say in social media and other Internet forums as being "typical northeastern liberal thinking". The issue is nation-wide. I am not paranoid enough to think I am being watched all the time and I have no problem with them knowing that I understand my rights (which are different here than they are there) I do understand the responsibility of carrying a gun and that you are probably guilty until proved innocent if you have to shoot someone. That is the thrust of the CCW classes here. It is 90%, legal ramifications and only about 10% tactical. I have sat through the course a number of times. It is free at a gun show if you don't need the certificate and they usually run back to back all day. Typically it is taught by a cop. Sheriffs encouraging people to carry is one thing. I don't think they are promoting that you advertise that you carry and that you'd shoot someone with it. I think it's better for criminals and terrorists to have to guess who is armed and who is not. For that reason I wouldn't advocate "open carry". Let them guess. The real impetus for "open carry" here is to blunt the chances of being charged if someone gets a peek at a concealed weapon. I think that if they just softened up on that, we would not need an open carry law. I doubt many people actually want one "hanging low". |

Act with physical aggression and throw items at the active shooter. If you can't run, and you can't hide, then attempt to incapacitate the shooter. How? I'd suggest shooting the son of a bitch. Comments like that made on the Internet are probably left unsaid.. You may find yourself on somebody's "watch list". That is typical northeastern liberal thinking. There is a bill working it's way through the Florida legislature strengthening the Stand Your Ground Law. There are sheriffs encouraging people to carry if they have the license in light of these terrorists. BTW the "fight if you have to" plan is becoming more popular with programs like ALICE. The fight plan includes causing a chose and throwing everything you can find at the shooter I seem to remember someone here suggesting that and being ridiculed I don't know how you can consider being careful of what you say in social media and other Internet forums as being "typical northeastern liberal thinking". The issue is nation-wide. Sheriffs encouraging people to carry is one thing. I don't think they are promoting that you advertise that you carry and that you'd shoot someone with it. I think it's better for criminals and terrorists to have to guess who is armed and who is not. For that reason I wouldn't advocate "open carry". Let them guess. I would like anyone thinking of shooting up a bunch of folks to consider that a lot of those folks may be carrying and not afraid to shoot back. -- Ban idiots, not guns! But one of them might be you...no worries. Yup, I think shooting back would have been very appropriate in San Bernardino and in Paris, to name just a couple. -- But...you don't carry. Keep on guessing. -- Ban idiots, not guns! No need to guess...a half-blind, semi-crippled old fart like you ain't carrying. Omniscience is a wonderful thing, no? |
