Your guide to surviving an active shooter event.
This is a video the city of Houston put together on what to do should you (a citizen) run across an active shooter, such as the guy in the movie theater.
They were just finishing it when the Colorado shootings occurred. If you haven’t seen it……it is well worth the watch and worth sharing with your family and friends as well.
DHS sponsored video, worth watching.
They sorta gloss over the gun free zone sign on the door.
I'd be somewhat inclined to spray the fire extinguisher in the shooter's face, in addition to clubbing him with it. Blind, suffocate, and club the bastard. Even better to have someone spray him in the face with the extinguisher while a cohort VERY FIRMLY applies the microwave up side his haid.
White male shooter, of course...

I’ve evolved past this ‘throw stuff at them’ monkey business.
throw lead.
Draw, aim, fire. I for one will not go out hiding under a chair
Yes, yes, and yes.
But remember the sign on the door? This is a gun free zone.
Why else would the shooter go there?
You and I can’t always avoid going to a gun free zone, but the shooters are positively drawn to them.
IF (Big IF) there had been men (and women?) that had of immediately rushed the shooter, the death toll would have probably been 1/4th as great.
But who wants to be the first to charge into fire?
Only those that know the facts and most people are unaware that such Shooters are basically wimpy, woosies and would run the instant they were attacked (even by unarmed people).
Irony.
At the 58 second mark it says Pursuant to section “30.06”...

That is why I always conceal carry (everywhere) I go.
And here I thought evolution was an article of faith among gun-hating leftists.
Airports? Court houses?
Oh, it is. But like every other leftist article of faith, it should only apply to those other people.
Thanks!
What could I throw in a movie theater? Popcorn? Oh, wait, I have my purse full of all that heavy money! /sarc
A hissy fit?
An Emo?
If you have concealed carry permit, carry it anyway, save everyone’s life, then say you didn’t see the gun free zone sign. Of course, don’t carry if there is a scanning device to go through. In that case, don’t go in that place.
But who wants to be the first to charge into fire?
Airports? Wouldn't enter on a bet.
Pretty much how Tom Clancy's Patriot Games starts...
Bump for later.
Pack, shoot, kill.

I don’t have a concealed carry permit, so I just carry “Gun Free Zone” sign around with me :)
By Training. They have been taught the fact that diving into fire is going to save most of their lives and that retreating will just get them killed
I received (some) basic Special Forces Training and THAT was one of the first things they taught us.
But who wants to be the first to charge into fire?
Then resign yourself to be most likely to die........
That sign is the ENTIRE movie, afaiac.
The rest incudes semi-decent “tactics” for people who have never thought about it and are “forced” to work / visit a “gun free” building, but that frame with the 30.06 sign (how ironically named) says EVERYTHING everyone needs to know about where and why the psycho shooters go where they go.
BTW - the “answer” video is here:

Such idiocy is what helped contribute to thousands of deaths on 9-11-2001. The building next to mine gets hit by a low flying jet airliner? BYE. I'm gone for the day. Personal time if nothing else. No more work is going to get accomplished that day anyway, with office chatter and announcements, anyway.
Once it was determined that FOUR planes had been hijacked (with more suspected, including more box cutters located on grounded planes), I still would've taken a personal day REGARDLESS of what city I was in. In the end, most offices nationwide DID send employees home around noon that day.
I dealt with having to drive headon into incoming thunderstorms in Houston (worked near Tomball) because my employer would wait until the bad weather REACHED THEM to determine that maybe some employees should "leave early".
I do not look to any employer to have my best safety interest at stake. They are concerned with maximized work effort with minimal loss/accountability. It is part of that reasoning that makes them bind their panties in a wad at the concept of another employer taking DEFENSE into his own hands.
That sign is always good for a giggle to break the monotony in the middle of CCL classes.
How well does that work in the movies about homicidal killers?
Pu-lease. This administration will take this nation down.
Everyone in my building got an “Active Shooter” brochure except me. I asked my supervisor why I didn’t get one, and he said “We don’t want you to know what we’re doing.”
I for one will not go out hiding under a chair.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
In school was taught to dive under chair for atomic attack.
That said, I will be the ‘old guy’ ‘begging for my life and cowering in the corner’ As long as not ‘screaming all that loud’ I should be pretty much left to my task of removing my piece and positioning myself for the ‘cleanest shot’ possible under the circumstances, and least dangerous for the ‘innocents’.
That’s...uh...interesting...
It’s part of my secret “Let’s not fire that guy” strategy. ;)
