RUN. HIDE. FIGHT. Surviving an active shooter event.
Office of the Mayor, Houston TX (Via YouTube) ^ | 7/23/12

Run>Hide>Fight.

Your guide to surviving an active shooter event.

This is a video the city of Houston put together on what to do should you (a citizen) run across an active shooter, such as the guy in the movie theater.

They were just finishing it when the Colorado shootings occurred. If you haven’t seen it……it is well worth the watch and worth sharing with your family and friends as well.

DHS sponsored video, worth watching.

They sorta gloss over the gun free zone sign on the door.

I'd be somewhat inclined to spray the fire extinguisher in the shooter's face, in addition to clubbing him with it. Blind, suffocate, and club the bastard. Even better to have someone spray him in the face with the extinguisher while a cohort VERY FIRMLY applies the microwave up side his haid.

White male shooter, of course...

Draw, aim, fire. I for one will not go out hiding under a chair

Yes, yes, and yes.

But remember the sign on the door? This is a gun free zone.

Why else would the shooter go there?

You and I can’t always avoid going to a gun free zone, but the shooters are positively drawn to them.

IF (Big IF) there had been men (and women?) that had of immediately rushed the shooter, the death toll would have probably been 1/4th as great.

But who wants to be the first to charge into fire?

Only those that know the facts and most people are unaware that such Shooters are basically wimpy, woosies and would run the instant they were attacked (even by unarmed people).

Irony.

At the 58 second mark it says Pursuant to section “30.06”...

That is why I always conceal carry (everywhere) I go.

Oh, it is. But like every other leftist article of faith, it should only apply to those other people.

“You and I can’t always avoid going to a gun free zone, but the shooters are positively drawn to them.”

If you have concealed carry permit, carry it anyway, save everyone’s life, then say you didn’t see the gun free zone sign. Of course, don’t carry if there is a scanning device to go through. In that case, don’t go in that place.

United States Marines are drawn towards gunfire; either by nature or training.

*shrug* A courthouse is relatively safe, they're usually crawling with armed bailiffs and cops.

Airports? Wouldn't enter on a bet.
