"When at sporting events, concerts, and the movies, choose seats that give you a tactical advantage always. What do I mean? Choose seats that allow good and east vantage points and a hasty exit point."

Do anything and everything necessary to get in the seats closest to the exits. Your lives may depend on it. May the fittest survive.

[Little sardonic humor there.]

Left out the part about defensive use of frag grenades and using the theatre patron next to you for cover/concealment.

I would have pulled my high lumens pocket flashlight and blinded this guy.

Well......you certainly would have attracted his attention.

All good ideas. Don’t forget a good knife. If only there been a few armed folks like Sam Williams in the crowd.

OK, I tested some of my newer lights and now I’m blinded!!!

It took me ten minutes of waiting to read the rest of the thread and to post this comment!

I have read there are LED lights which phase on and off in a pattern which will disable a person unless I guess, he closes his eyes. If he keeps his eyes closed then you have a big advantage.

I have never actually seen one of those lights but I sure would like to have one.

Awesome article on living your life while keeping an eye out for danger. And I ALWAYS try to find a space I can either pull thru a parking spot or back my vehicle into a parking spot, even my own driveway!! I also leave at least 1 car length between me and the vehicle in front of me at a stoplight or stop sign in case something happens and I need to get around and away fast. (learned that from ambulance driving training).

Here’s another survival hint: Don’t sit next to someone who whips out a flashlight and shines it at the shooters eyes.

NB that the shooter didn’t have body armor.

He had a lot of black “tactical” attire, but he wasn’t wearing body armor. His vest was a “tactical” vest. A .38 S&W would have cleaned his clock.
