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.
Alive, better to be judged by 12 then carried by 6
Draw your weapon and fight back that’s the way to survive
The belt on the door mechanism has anyone tried that?
The method looks incredibly weak those things have been falling apart one where I work. All it takes to break them is a good hard yank.
Wow you are an idiot Routson. You are part of the problem.
Even if you don’t have a gun use a knife or fight for your life
Aaron you are the problem.
I’ll CALL 911 FOR YOU……
True. They represent themselves at high cost.
They sell this country to the highest and lowest bidder..
We were told to hide under our desk
