What should one do if the “worst happens to you” is the premise of a viral video about protecting oneself against an active shooter. Though there are valuable tips within the two-minute “infomercial”, the irony is one can use a fire extinguisher as a weapon, scissors as a weapon, chairs, tables and belts to inflict bodily harm on a shooter, but NOT use a gun.
It is reminiscent of the “duck and cover” Civil Defense films that urged children and adults alike to hide under a desk as protection from an atomic bomb. This idea today seems ludicrous, a desk protecting children from a bomb, yet this same logic is being used and encouraged during an active shooter scenario. Don’t bring a gun to a gun fight, but a belt to lock the door.
Watch the video on the following page. It does have some good insights and they certainly may save one’s life, but just as a desk won’t save from a nuclear bomb, neither will a belt keep a person alive either.
Annnndddd not one scenario showing someone having a gun and eliminating the threat. Which would be their best hope.
You won’t.
SHOOT BACK
An AR 15 rifle is a hell of a lot better protection than a strip on cowhide. Just saying..
Only one tip needed. Carry a gun and shoot back.
WHAT IF YOU DON’T HAVE A BELT OR THERE IS NO DOOR CLOSER , AND WEAPON WOULD SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.
Our Liberal Leaders Took away out Right to Carry and Caused these Shootings by Leaving us Defenceless In so call “Gun Free Zones” Now they want to FURTHER disarm us by banning entire classes of Firearms ! The very Type that Ended the Latest Shooting ,It was their Anti gun laws that Created these “Soft Targets” to begin with.. Call your Congressman and Demand Passage of HR-38 so a Permit from one state is good in all States !!!
Don’t work where they will not allow you to carry a firearm!
The best way to survive is to go out and buy a gun.
