Parents of black children have had the talk. Parents of gay kids have had the talk. Now it is time for all of you to get the talk. Should you be confronted with an active shooter scenario, there are steps you should take to survive the ordeal. One, if the threat is coming, then move, fast. IF you cannot escape, then shelter in place. Look immediately for a weapon. Be planning your breakout, should it be necessary. Control breathing, and notice source and direction of shadows. Blur eyes slightly, to accentuate any movements. Should you be surprised and are contained within the crowd being gunned down, hit the floor. Shooters will be going for body mass. Unless it is really packed, then, the shooter will be going for head shots. Should the shooters weapon be semi, or full auto, the recoil will make most shots at head level. Should the rain of lead be in one stream, wait for the restbit and spring. If you are going for a dive at shooter, and they are reloaded, or have a few left, dive low. Take out their legs. This will minimize your likelihood of taking some, and will afford an opportunity for a compatriot to gain courage to assist. ALWAYS be moving across, never at or away. Remember, even though they are resigned, or driven, or about to receive 72 virgins, they will be on stimulus overload too. Use distraction. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — More than a third of the 49 patrons killed during the Pulse nightclub massacre were shot in the head, and most of the victims had multiple bullet wounds, according to autopsy reports released this week. Only two victims had traces of soot, gunpowder or stippling, meaning most of the victims were likely more than 3 feet away when they were shot in the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. The autopsies show that about half of the victims had five wounds or more, and one victim had 13 wounds. Gunman Omar Mateen was killed during a shootout with law enforcement officers following a three-hour standoff June 12. “It shows he shot a lot and had a lot of ammo,” said Dr. Stephen Cina, a Colorado-based forensic pathologist, who has no connection to the case. -snip- Read more: http://www.lgbtqnation.com/2016/08/autopsies-third-pulse-nightclub-victims-shot-head/
I don't think he realizes there are firearm self defense instructors on this forum. Reminds me of the teenage student that thinks he knows more than the teacher.
You insert the fork and saw with the serrated knife,next up,yuminess! If you're really blessed there will be green peas and mashed and (pork) gravy
I was going to have to wait till hell froze over till one of you patriotic folk did so. Do me better. I dare ya. Its what I wanted anyway.
I wouldn't hesitate to move to stop some jerkwad from shooting up a bunch of people. Would you? There's a time to do.
And if you are lucky, the terrorists are afraid of pork chops, or really any pork product or residue.
I get paid to give classes and lectures on this subject. So unless you pony up, I won't be imparting any of this wisdom upon you. You seem to know more than the experts anyhow.
But WE'RE all your very bestest friends. Isnt depriving us of this information sorta like consigning us to slaughter?
Take cover, and help others to a safe or safer location. If you cannot, draw your legally carried weapon, take aim, and fire until the threat is eliminated. Once the shooter is immobilized, safe your weapon, call 911, help any wounded. When police arrive, keep your hands high, notify the of your weapon, and where it's located. Tell them you will be glad to give a statement after consulting with your legal counsel.
Maybe just play dead and hope for the best.Oh better yet call 911.Or make a slingshot(if its legal)Anything but (gasp)have your own firearm(gasp)Ohh noo.
What the heck would a hoplophobe know about weapons?Sounds like a good recipie for suicide from an armchair quarterback.How many active shooter situations have you survived? "A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded emotional and sexual maturity"Sigmond Frued.
If you actually had attempts on your life(real,not perceived)you would realize the value of a gun.After all when you call the calvary to your rescue, what tool do they bring?
You know the best way to survive an active shooter(this should be obvious) first, if possible get the hades out of there,if that aint an option,take cover(assuming the shooter aint gone a huntin)Then hopefully your armed with more than a cell phone or a stapeler, pull your piece and return fire!! Unless of course your a hoplophobe, in whitch case,Play dead or hope the cops are on the way. Good luck with that. Actually, avoiding crowds is probably the most realistic, best advice.FWIW
