It is called SURVIVAL - the real kind. They deserve kudos and using them as examples on how to really survive a terrorist attack --
#1 PROTECT yourself,
#2 your family
#3 your neighbors
#4 your town
--- in that order!
If you don't protect yourself first, you won't be able to go to step #2.
NEVER expect someone else to take care of #1 for you.
You are your own first line of self defense, that's why the federal judges asked for and got exemptions from all gun control laws. Calling 911 for protection means your giving up and want the cops to come and I.D. your body.
