"The speed and deadliness of recent high-profile shootings have prompted police departments to recommend fleeing, hiding or fighting in the event of a mass attack, instead of remaining passive and waiting for help."
Geee, just like the judges who always insist that they be exempt from gun control laws because "They are their own first line of self defense". And not to forget "That when seconds count, the police are just minutes away". Ever notice that when these killers realize that someone has arrived that will resist them, they off themselves?

The Police Executive Research Forum was founded and led by former Chief of Police Patrick Murphy. Think he was chief of both New York City and DC.
The Forum was leftist and ignorant. Only the liberal media took them seriously but no real police chief, who knew Murphy, would pay any attention to this liberal appeasor and nitwit.
I’ve heard him talk and he’s full of it. Only a few PD’s followed his type of thinking, including Chief Bourza of Minneapolis and a couple in California, most of who were later booted out for their incompetence.
At least Wexler recognizes that a “change” is necessary in typical liberal cowardly thinking. That, in and of itself, is a major step for mankind.

I now live in a state that repealed the death penalty. It’s me or them.

Ya....I’ve been waiting around for a bunch of liberal knuckleheads to instruct me on how to best defend myself......
Have they discussed this with Jim Carey to make sure this won’t upset him?

I’m surprised the NYT author didn’t say : *we should limit gun ownership to only the police.*

The take-home message is that youre not helpless and the actions you take matter, Dr. Blair said. You can help yourself and certainly buy time for the police to get there.
The take-home message should be arm yourself, train yourself and shoot with discretion.

Amen. It was one of those *life lessons* you can’t plan. My GD, who knows I carry on our outings, was taking it all inlike a sponge. She even said, *Gram should I get my BB gun?*
It was a wonderful opportunity to teach her by example that a woman need not be defenseless.

I have a feeling that had he been armed, he would have fired.

This sign appeared in Newtown, a few days after the massacre. Really. --
I hope it was a "honey pot."

In the video, students are shown throwing a garbage can at an attackerIs that garbage can registered?
But seriously, the best thing to throw at an attacker is lead at high speeds. End of story.
