Yes. It’s is. Escape danger is best at young ages. It’s called fight flight response not the cower, hide then fight flight response.
I think you are right about fighting back not being an effective option. The problem for me is that having people hide may end up making them easier targets. I doubt decent hiding places have more than one way in or out.
Being told to hide or shelter in place doesn’t work for me.
How sad we have a generation of cowards.
Demolition Man coming true...without the shells.
I’m old and don’t have much to lose. In our church’s plan for an active threat, my task is to go straight at the threat. I’m no help if taken out too easily, but I’m going to get close enough to be a problem for anyone but a well trained gunman. I readily volunteered for this role and have the proper mindset. Whether Jesus approves of my attitude is another matter.
How about LEAVE THE AREA, if the campus is hosting a shooter, leave it quickly and carefully.
If we had more men willing to accept that role as you have, we wouldn’t have these kinds of problems.
The Left is trying to “engineer” those qualities out of men.
They really want you to just allow yourself to be murdered and not put up any fight. democrats really are the party of death.
What you have volunteered for is out of love for your brothers and sisters in Christ, even if it means losing your life in the pursuit of bringing order to chaos.
It is the mindset of a peacemaker.
Take cover, return fire.
