Artofmanliness.com ^ | November 30, 2015 | Brett and Kate McKay

It’s a sad fact of life in the 21st century that active shootings have become a regular occurrence in the United States. In other parts of the world, terrorist groups are using active shootings to, well, terrorize. While the media focuses on the firestorm of political debate these events cyclically create, I’ve rarely seen them discuss what people are actually supposed to do in these situations.

The first art of manliness is to be prepared. I carry, knowing what to do with it is art number two.

This article makes the assumption that you are not.

Our kids are being taught what to do in school - cowers and hide. It should be easy to get them to obey the Authorities as needed, when Hillary is ready for that step in fundamentally transforming the United States.

Good answer. But as I told a smart as on Twitter yesterday, this is no shooting rage. Just be aware. However, if five people start shooting back and they have armor, heads and legs.

In a lot of states the answer is clear shoot back.

In the liberal controlled gun free zones the answers is not so obvious.

These bastids are shooting people in the back like the
COWARDS they are! Generally unarmed people at that.

The so-called “woman” in the recent one had been
given a baby shower by the very same human beings that she
mercilessly shot down like rabid dogs in the yard.

If that is their dam*ed so-called “religion”, they can keep
it & keep it TO THEMSELVES! By now, they’ve met Ollah.

Though they get a lot of press, active shooter situations are kind bogglingly rare. I’d worry more about slipping in the bathtub.

Two to the center of mass—followed by a finishing shot to the head.

Works every time.

The more press the incidents get....the more gun-control stays on the front burner.
