Run, Hide, Tell (Tell means call 999, the British version of our American 911) is the official response of the Metropolitan Police in London when their citizens encounter a terrorist attack or simply anything frightening.

The NRA bumper sticker on the tailgate of my truck simply says "Stand and Fight." In my view, the NRA advice is more correct.

Terrorism won't end until those being terrorized stand up and put an end to it. A dead terrorist terrorizes no more.

I am thankful to live in Maine, where constitutional carry is the law of the state.

Ride, Hide, baaaahhhh, baaaaahhhh....

According to some accounts, it was the police themselves that went running and hiding. Leaving citizens, errr, I mean, subjects, to defend themselves with wine bottles and chairs.

[ClearBlueSky]

No! Stand fight and kill! No rat’s...no plague. Stop the suicidal brainwashing of civilization.

The London Mayor and Prime Minister should ask this question: “What would Winston Churchill do?”

[Telepathic Intruder]

It seems to me the Brits’ greatest enemy is their own government, and their worthless queen. They completely disarm the people, and then import the most dangerous people in the world into their midst and tell them they have to get along. “Be nice, or we’ll throw you in the slam”.

Two days ago the mayor of London said that global warming was the biggest threat..

Years ago, Churchill said:

Now after 7 decades of Brit PC bs and disarming the good Brits, this is the new rule!

This sums up why our second amendment is probably our most important amendment!

Yep. England’s police should remind people that crossbows and longbows are still legal, and that modern hunting bows are excellent. “Run out with bows and arrows, gentlemen and ladies, and shoot at terrorists! Also bring knives and cricket clubs.”

Or are they cricket ‘bats’?

The Brits of yore would not have stood for this. It took a feminized hierarchy and faithless state religious establishment, both with an insatiable thirst for socialism, to make them thus. Considering what two generations of average Britons had to endure in the wars of the 20th century, only to also be screwed in peacetime by their own PTB, those PTB were most prescient when they essentially de-fanged their subjects.

And yes, I know that the only one in our own precious Washington DC fighting that right now seems to be DJT.

I'm with you on that, I may only carry a Walther PPK/S and 2 extra mags, but with Critical Defense ammo I can reply justly.
Upgrading soon to a S&W MP Shield 9 mm the take it's place!

watching the news this morning wife has said we have to get you upgraded soon :)

Let’s see how long it takes the Brits to counterattack with a hashtah message.

Not just any hashtag message.

A strongly-worded hashtag message.

Then! Roll out the candlelight vigils, flowers and especially those savage teddy bears.

This is The Stockholm Syndrome on a national scale.

[I want the USA back]

Run, hide, cower in fear, your new masters are here.
Lower your pants bottoms, and present your bare butts to your replacements, because your leaders will do nothing to help you.
Start learning Arabic and look for sales on prayer rugs.

One of the reasons Americans are exceptional is because they say “Nuts!” or “Let’s roll.” when they are faced with aggression.

That rugged, self-sufficient, self-determinism has almost been bred out of the current generation. Those of us who remember when a man was a man need to teach it to the young, by any means necessary.

[Deplorable American1776]

In London: '999, what your emergency?'

Caller: 'People are here with guns and bombs. They might be Terrorists'

999 operator: 'The terrorists you say? No, we will have to arrest you for being an Islamicphobe.'

In America: '911, what's your emergency?'

Caller:'I just shot some terrorists who had guns and bombs. They were threatening people here.'

911 operator: 'Great job. Anymore terrorists near you?'

As someone with a concealed carry license, I have what
I consider to be a uniquely American view to “run, hide, & tell versus stand fight and kill.”

I have a concealed carry permit to protect me, my family, and friends. I am not a police officer. I am not required except potentially by my consciences to used deadly force to protect others. They for the most part have the ability to acquire a weapon, training and a license.

If I hear gunfire yes, I will run, hide and tell. However, if for some reason deadly force comes for me, I am trained and will used deadly force to survive and insure those close to me survive. If I retreat into a building and a terrorist comes to the door or window of that building then yes I will probably use deadly force to stop them, but otherwise my CPL is for my protection. not to protect society.

Of course if there are enough people like me in the street, then society will probably be protected as the terrorist will threaten the wrong person.

In London, law abiding people are not allowed to carry deadly force weapons, such as pistols. Therefore to expect them to confront deadly force unarmed is to ask them to be heroic in ways that are unreasonable.

The difference between London, Paris and the a number of terrorist attacks in the USA is that a small but reliable percentage of Americans are armed and know how to use deadly force. Are police are also armed and authorized to use deadly force. It is who we are as a society. A society of free men and free women.
