Make yourself as small of a target as possible, keep hard objects between you and the shooter, get your ass to the closest/safest exit.


That’s about as simple as it can be put.

I run a few miles a day, so I feel like I’ve been preparing for this crap my whole life. I just hope when it happens I’m not wearing flip flops.

Most shit people are afraid of is unlikely to ever occur. Tens of millions of people are terrified of flying and almost anything you can think of has a higher percentage shot of happening than anyone being in a plane crash/incident, let alone dying from one.

So, yeah. You're at least 4x as likely to die from an accident than from a mass shooter.
The odds of dying in a school shooting are less than the odds of winning a Powerball jackpot.

Assuming a person is unarmed, it seems like grabbing a fire extinguisher and waiting around a corner would be a good plan (assuming you have quick access to one and a corner you can hide behind). Spray somebody in the face with an extinguisher, and they're not going to be doing anything but getting sprayed in the face. His vision is immediately reduced to zero. Also, it would be instinctive/reflexive for the shooter to cover his face, taking the gun out of the immediate equation.

Then bash the ****er over the head with the extinguisher. Until you've made brain soup.

Challenge the active shooter to a dance-off.

That all sound well and good, but I'd rather not bring a fire extinguisher to a gun fight myself.

That goes without saying.

There were 37000+ firearm mortalities per the CDC. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/s...ty/firearm.htm

Eh, kinda. Context matters a lot.

If you have a ton of guns around - especially if you don't use them a ton - you're going to have a far higher than 4x chance of accidental shooting death than a person with 0 exposure to guns.

If you're never around guns you're going to have to be around an accidental discharge or a crime and be a bystandard.

So it's hard to buy that absolutely you're 4x more likely to get blasted by accident than active shooter and apply that to a population.

This thread is destined to end up in DC; there are people nearly stroking out wanting to bring up gun control and whatnot.

I have a habit of knowing where the exits are now.
