Just hit the deck, unholster your own PPD - and watch and wait until the shooter comes your way then pop him/her and hide your PPD.

And refuse to go anywhere defenseless. If I can’t take my gun, I am not going there.

Find out if the shooter is a Muslim. If he is, it isn’t about religion so it’s OK.

Maintain a pathway to your primary and secondary exits; identify potential weapons before the trouble starts.

I used to fly a lot on business. I never got on the plane without at least two items that I could improvise into weapons. And I didn’t even take up knitting.

I have to drive to Ft. Knox with my husband and daughter and I would love to take Smith and Wesson. We will be unarmed from PA to KY. Not very happy.

I don’t usually carry but I do observe that rule. I don’t enter gun-free zones.

Agree with all his points but would differ with his priorities. The first priority isn't run/hide, it's engage. Your family should be prepared to get out as fast as possible but it's important to engage and overwhelm the enemy and save other's lives. If carrying, kill them. If not carrying, throw stuff. It's really hard for a crazo with a weapon to shoot effectively if you have a barrage of chairs, shoes, beer mugs, plates, trays coming at them.

As Gen Mattis is supposed to have said "Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet".

" Have a gun yourself."

However, I posted this blog information for armed Freepers that may want to pass the information on to their weeny friends, family and others that you may care about, who for whatever reason are not and do not want to be a firearm owner, with CCW.
