Residents of Sand Piper Condos are advised to shelter in place. If you live there, stay in your residence until all clear is given.

What happened to our country of MEN? WTSHTF I'm not "sheltering in place", but like a minuteman I'm taking up my arms and confronting evil.

I would do that around my residence as well.

However, the term is used quit frequently on military bases. These installations have planned response teams normally ready on small and large bases. They want the intruder, criminal or shooter wandering around without all sorts of other uniformed and non uniformed persons out confusing the situation.

As most bases are training, permanent party, storage of equipment and the like, uniformed service people without the duty need to be armed are not armed. When you think about it it makes perfect sense to not have to draw an M-16 when you are changing the fuel filter of the fueling system of a cutter.

The base I am in and out of the last few years shot dead an “active shooter” who was an idiot car thief who would not stop just before I got here. They have no problem taking out the bad guys, but it isn’t a free for all.

Base security or Coast Guard Police Department (if Grand Haven even has one) don’t want a bunch of civilians and untrained people running around confusing the situation when they’re trying to neutralize a threat to the base as fast as possible. Shelter in Place orders keep the wrong people from being shot.

And you’ll be shot dead by cowboy cops thinking you are the perp. Unless there is total anarchy on the streets, it’s very wise to stay indoors.

Of course, if they come into your home, I’d say all bets are off.
