The ONLY Thing To Know To Survive An Active Shooter
Just got these in my email and thought they were interesting and informative. Tim Larkin is a self defense guy I have been learning from (Target Focus Training) for years. His guest is an expert on this and he only uses facts. Perhaps this could save some lives. Share with everyone you know.

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.

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. |

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.
