7 WAYS TO HELP YOU SURVIVE A MASS SHOOTING IN A PUBLIC PLACE June 16, 2016 wcweiss

The recent mass shootings that have occurred around the world, including the tragedy at a gay night club in Orlando, Florida, brings up the issue of what you can do to help yourself survive a mass shooting in a public place. An act of terrorism or violence, domestic or foreign born, can happen anywhere and at any time.

The following suggestions are meant to make you think and plan ahead to increase your chances of surviving a mass shooting in locations such as a night club, sports or concert venue, movie theatre, restaurant, etc. Each incident and the circumstances surrounding that situation will dictate your reactions and choices. This discussion is not to make you paranoid or to live your life in fear, but to allow you to enjoy yourself and prepare to act quickly, when you least expect to be fighting for your life.

[TruthInThoughtWordAndDeed]

Gun. Gun. Gun. Gun. Gun. Gun. Gun.

[Mom MD]

Situational awareness. If a dark complected guy starts acting strange and speaking arabic, bug out. Avoiding the situation altogether is still better than shooting your way out. But you gotta do what you gotta do.

[teeman8r]

number one... fire back at the assailant.

number two... keep firing until the assailant stops moving

number three... put two into assailants head when he stops moving to prevent him from getting up and firing again.

number four... look for other assailants, but be careful not to shoot others who may have shot at the assailant also.

number five... let others take their turn in putting two in the skull of the assailant. closure is good for the soul.

number six... return gun to holster and urinate on the assailant.

number seven... have others take turns urinating and defecating on the assailant. take pictures for isis web page.

I always wonder why large numbers of victims don’t bum-rush the shooter. Mateen shot over 100 people.

[Uncle Miltie]

100 pantywaists. Not that gays are uniformly that way, or straights aren’t too. But seriously folks:

1) Everyone throw something at the shooter.
2) Everyone rush the shooter.

Game over. Casualties minimized.

GROW A PAIR!

[TalonDJ]

1) situational awareness
2) Good firm grip
3) clean draw
4) extension
5) rapid target acquisition
6) smooth straight back trigger pull
7) follow through
8+)Repeat 5-7

[Lazamataz]

8) Have four guns, body armor, a big dog, three hand grenades, and three friends similarly equipped.

FIVE GOLDEN RINGS!
Four FAL's,
Three Uzis,
Two Redhawks,
AND A COLT PYTHON IN .44....

[afsnco]

number five point one...carry bacon in a ziplock in your pocket and place in the perp’s mouth

"Hopefully, these tidbits of advice will make you think of other ways to survive a violent situation when you least expect it.

Especially when the police are ordered to delay their response for 15-20 minutes, as at Orlando.

[Labyrinthos]

Look around and be aware of the type of clientele at the location. If you see something out of the ordinary or someone acting strangely or carrying objects that look out of place notify security, management, or any employee. Forewarn and tell others in your party or your family and friends what you are feeling and observing. As the old saying goes, “If you see something, say something.”

Unless, of course, you see and say something about a member of a protected class, in which case, if you are wrong (even if your observations were reasonable), you will be sued, audited, and subject to financial ruin.

If you are able to escape to a room inside the location, lock the door and barricade yourself inside. If others are with you assign tasks to each such as securing the door with furniture or a trash can, have someone calling 911 while providing the suspect’s description, turn off the lights and electronics as soon as possible, and look for additional avenues of escape or weapons to use inside that room to defend yourself.

I recently read in similar article that after barricading the door, you should lie flat on the ground as close to the door as possible so that the rules of trigonometry are on your side.

[showme_the_Glory]

Exactly. Read the mental awareness color code by Cooper, or Front Sight, or anyone else you want to search for. Your whole family should know this.

8) Have four guns, body armor, a big dog, three hand grenades, and three friends similarly equipped.

Also: 12 Drummers Drumming, Eleven Pipers Piping, Ten Lords a Leaping, Nine Ladies Dancing, Eight Maids a Milking, Seven Swans a Swimming, Six Geese a Laying, Five Golden Rings, Four Calling Birds, Three French Hens, Two Turtle Doves and a Cartridge in a Pear Tree.

[Twinkie]

Uh. How would it be if Twinkie took her trusty old
Smith & Wesson out of its holster, aimed it at the
murderer who’s shooting the place up and squeezes the
trigger deliberately? Twinkie tends to aim for the balls.
Are those covered in body armor?

[rhoda_penmark]

” If a dark complected guy starts acting strange and speaking arabic, bug out.”

But, but...he looked so sexy!

[TxAg1981]

unholster your own PPD - and watch and wait until the shooter comes your way then pop him/her and hide your PPD
Bottom Line...return fire

[FreedomPoster]

There ya go!

LOL

[wbill]

8) Make friends that have guns.
9) Bring the friends.
10) Tell the friends to bring their guns.

[FreedomPoster]
