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...
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........
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. ;)
