I despise this mindset. I saw this at Dover AFB:

On a military base. It really bugged me.

I have to get corporate training on this, take a test, and sign off on it. I detest it.

I don't know what I will do in a situation like that. But if I saw a guy with a smoking gun walking down a hallway in the direction of people I have worked with and known for decades, I simply don't think I could run in the other direction and wait for the "professionals" to arrive.

Maybe I would run towards safety and let someone else try to stop him. But when I think of that, how could I do that? How could I live with myself after that?

It just bothers me that they try to indoctrinate me in that fashion, to think of my own safety first.

I think the shelter-in-place is perfectly acceptable for some people. I just hate feeling like I am being shoe-horned into that mindset.

Exactly.

I'd rather die doing what is right than live another 20 years as a coward.

You can ask a lot of parents in Uvalde how waiting for the *professionals* to arrive and don something worked out for them.
