Typical. Not one mention of carrying and shooting back.

>>people at the scene of an attack have a better chance of survival if they take an active stance rather than waiting to be rescued by the police, who in many cases cannot get there fast enough to prevent the loss of life. <<

Defend yourself? That concept will take more than a “sea change” in attitude.

Why, what if I hit the wrong person before I get the bad guy? (better that the bad guy kill 30 than I stop him after one bad shot, saving 25).

prompted police departments to recommend fleeing, hiding or fighting in the event of a mass attack

You mean there used to be a different plan than, if you get caught up in a mass killing at the mall, "run, hide, or figh"?

Good Lord, what was the old plan, line up, show ID if requested, there was no "run, or hide"?

What tactics do I use, unrinating on myself, or pointing to the nearest “gun free zone” sign?

It’s a see change....

See, if you stand still you will absolutely die.

If you fight back or run to safety you will live.

The best form of active defense is for a concealed carrying person to shoot back at the attacker.

After the Columbine massacre in 1999, my company of about 1000 employees held a security seminar.

Their plan was that as many people as possible should be “locked” into the cafeteria, where we would be “protected” by our unarmed Wackenhut security guards.

I thought, yeah, great idea, turn 20 dead into 200 dead.

I made my own plan.

Sprint away from the building as fast as I could run.

For several months after that, I would always look around every room I was in for something I could use to smash an escape hole through one of the windows.

The speed and deadliness of recent high-profile shootings have prompted police departments to recommend fleeing, hiding or fighting in the event of a mass attack, instead of remaining passive and waiting for help.

The shift represents a “sea change,” said Chuck Wexler, executive director of the Police Executive Research Forum,

Typical liberal dumb ass, including the dumb ass idiots at the NY Slimes.

What is their solution for fighting back, throwing erasers & chalk at the crazed (liberal) lunatic mass killer's? What a bunch of stupid, dumb ass idiots!

Hey, NY Slimes & Chuck Wexler, how 'bout you endorse CCW and actually fighting back & firing back with REAL guns & real bullets.

I think my 9mm would give me more of a fighting chance, rather than erasers & chalk!

What a bunch of liberal dumb ass idiots! No wonder our country is going down the sh_tter, with liberal idiots and their liberal "logic".

Geee, just like the judges who always insist that they be exempt from gun control laws because "They are their own first line of self defense". And not to forget "That when seconds count, the police are just minutes away". Ever notice that when these killers realize that someone has arrived that will resist them, they off themselves?

Ya....I’ve been waiting around for a bunch of liberal knuckleheads to instruct me on how to best defend myself......

Have they discussed this with Jim Carey to make sure this won’t upset him?

“The take-home message is that you’re not helpless and the actions you take matter,” Dr. Blair said. “You can help yourself and certainly buy time for the police to get there.”

The take-home message should be arm yourself, train yourself and shoot with discretion.

In the video, students are shown throwing a garbage can at an attacker

Is that garbage can registered?

But seriously, the best thing to throw at an attacker is lead at high speeds. End of story.
