Entitled Run.Hide.Fight. Surviving an Active Shooter Event, it depicts a fictional shooting incident in a crowded office building.

While we're at it, here's some more good advice from government safety experts ...
Perfect!
Government has sure come a long way.

Yep, that “Ready, Fire, Aim” has the potential to be slightly painful...;-)

They'll come in all tactical, looking for someone to shoot.
Response:
1. Swiftly Shoot perp in the center of face with ccw
2. shoot perp 2x in center of body mass
3. Run to your location where you keep bigger weapon and ammo and rearm
4. Phone 911 with confirmation you are afraid for your life, he made you shoot, perp is hit
5. Call lawyer while being on guard for accomplices.
6. Speak to no one until your lawyer arrives.

Id think that if some psychopath comes in guns a blazing that this would meet the test.
I wonder how much you and I paid for this sort of sage advice?
I don’t think that’s what dhs intended. But I like your interpretation a lot more.
My version’s more survivable.
A government that views you as being to stupid to wipe your own butt , flush the toilet and wash your hands in the proper sequence without a government trained & supervised minder .
I am an old man with a bad knee. Can’t run worth a damn. That’s why I carry.
