I work for the Department of Defense. In the last couple of years, we have had "Active Shooter" exercises and training. The training says that your options in the case of an active shooter are 1) get out, 2) if you can't get out, shelter in the nearest lockable room, 3) if 1 and 2 don't work, fight back (they suggest throwing staplers). So Obama's Defense Department is advocating just what Dr. Carson said he would do.
The other point is the 3 Americans on the French train who took out the terrorist. They were praised by everyone up to and including Obama, for doing what Dr. Carson said he would do.
your options in the case of an active shooter are 1) get out, 2) if you can’t get out, shelter in the nearest lockable room, 3) if 1 and 2 don’t work, fight back (they suggest throwing staplers).
New Code of Conduct
I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.
If attacked, I will run or hide.
If that doesn’t work, I will throw a stapler, hole punch, etc.
