Never bring a duffel bag to a gun fight.

Oh sure, throw your duffel bag at the gunman and p*** him off even more. Then what do you think will happen next?

I wonder what one is advised to do if attacked by a man with a duffel bag?

Reminds me of that picture of the penguin about to crash cymbals an inch above the head of the sleeping polar bear.

How did the penguin get to the wrong pole?

I know some auk species are referred to as “penguins”, but they are all generally capable of flight as well as brief spurts of underwater swimming.

Your flying full body tackle had better be 1/10th of a second after that duffel bag.

Your not supposed to think about the science behind the validity of the picture, just the comical point of it. It was a "shopped" graphic.

I work at a military base, and we’re forever having “active shooter” drills. I usually tell the younger troops, “if he gets in here we’ll take him out together ... you charge him and I’ll be right behind you!”

Will I be restricted to carrying only five duffel bags?

Throwing my panties at them would probably be more useful. *rolls eyes*

Throwing items and improvising weapons, yelling...

Personally, I think this is a much better train safety video:

Wait a minute. How can there be a gunman in a gun free zone?
