Are you prepared for an active shooter?

[Silentpoet]

My job does not allow me to be properly prepared. And we have received recent credible threats. I work in child welfare.

[Jtbny]

.....not if the dude next to him is brandishing, well maybe has visibility (a better way to put it) of their "heat".......think about it!

.....to me, showing, exposing avoids problems and muscle doesn't work, many people seem to want to challenge muscle.....in my area (that's why I train my "bite"). If it gets out of hand the cameras will show what really went down.

Wait - you train your bite? As in to bite someone? LOL wtf?

[Jtbny]

Thanks, Ice. I have a feeling PowersKenny has a tough time with road rage, as well.

Hey Mark. For the upcoming fight with Kenny may I suggest you "sweep the leg"? Worked well against Daniel.

The Russian wrestling team and American wrestling team are having a 5-on-5 exhibition match. Both teams are down to their final wrestlers, tied at two wins apiece. The remaining American wrestler is 5'10", 175lbs., and his Russian counterpart is 6'7", 300lbs and all muscle. The American coach sends his wrestler into the match with little hope of winning. As expected, the Russian has with way with the American. Suddenly, the American explosively turns the match around, pins the Russian, and gains the victory for the American team.

The American wrestler returns to the sidelines where the coach asks him, "Son, how were you able to defeat that big Russian? Honestly, I didn't give you much of a chance."

The wrestler says, "Well, coach, when he had me down on the ground all rolled up, I saw a pair of nuts dangling in front of my face, and I just bit them as hard as I could."

The coach is shocked. "That's how you beat him?!"
"Hell yeah!" the wrestler says. "You'd be surprised what you can do when you bite your own nuts!"

I love these 80's references. There's a scene in The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty when a sailor from another country bids Walter farewell and says "stay gold, Ponyboy." A true LOL moment

[Underwrought]

Not prepared at all, and will likely make no effort to be prepared. I've got a much better chance of being taken out by a car crash, cancer, heart attack, or some other boring mundane cause or malady than I ever will from a crazed gunman.

Honestly this, I hate having **** in my pockets and where I work, I cant bring weapons with me. So my plan is to smack his bullets out of the way with my face.

No prep but i do keep my head on a swivel in potential situations.

My natural distrust of people I think will be handy some day should I need it. As it is now, its just annoying.

It is amazing how little people pay attention to their surroundings though.

One of the advantages of working on post and living in a military town, everyone be like ...

Much appreciated and reps owed.

** As a note, it wouldn't get that far not because of violence. It's because the Bureau already has his information with a new file.

[so-tex]

I'm more worried about getting nailed by a speeding driver in my neighborhood while on a bike ride w/my kids.

Oh, and bees

I'm worried more about getting nailed with a speeding ticket by an overzealous Barney Fife.

[DCSpartan]

I have a ccw, and the very last thing on this earth I desire is to have to have to draw my weapon.

I have seen the assertion regarding insecurity and ccw made at least twice in this thread.


I think you’re both dead wrong.

I do think most people in the gym however are insecure.

YOu need to reread what I posted. I drew a line between people ccw and people with open carry.

[DCSpartan]

.....not if the dude next to him is brandishing, well maybe has visibility (a better way to put it) of their "heat".......think about it!

Again, dudes with open carry trying to prove themselves or intimidate others is what gets me worried. Even if you think you pulling our your weapon in public is a good thing, you dont have the fire discipline or control to prevent collateral damage. Now, if you have made more NSW deployments then me (caveat I dont have a Trident) we can talk about what teams we were on and how the shooters cleared houses and I'll feel better. But otherwise I get the feeling you have no clue what your bullets are going to do at close range even if you hit the guy you are aiming at. I, quite unfortunately, have.

I regret joining this thread, and I'm out.

I never said the weapon needs to be "loaded", did I? Bye, bye.

"go ahead, make my day"

"is it loaded?, it's a 44 magnum the most powerful handgun in the world, it could blown your head clean off, do you feel lucky?" Punk!

Is there really a difference? Seriously, I thought then, and still think that you are expressing an uninformed opinion.

Either way, every citizen has the right to have arms, un infringed. Their self esteem is none of anyone’s business.

Reading this thread makes me thinking I should start wearing a vest/body armor out in public, anyone do this?

Try a muzzle

Try a muzzle

We get a colorful new character here and you want him muzzled.

You been hanging out with Iceman?

I wore a condom all evening....in my defense I was still drunk..

Try a muzzle

I tried that...she wouldn't shut up...just mumbled all night long...

The truth is that nobody is. Not against a highly trained biter, hell-bent on inflicting maximum damage.

If you only have a split second to react, all you can do is protect your most sensitive regions.

Do not slap that person while they are nibbling....damn that hurt...

I'm picking up a somewhat deviant sexual vibe here, Squid.

Not judging; just observing.

[AkiraFudo]

Don't let the guy get right up to your face with a gun. Friggin slam them when the guy comes up to you with the gun. Guy pulls gun from 6ft away, duck under and go in for double leg slam srs.

Most people I know have CCW. Some are OK, some are clowns. On the other hand, I have only known three people who open carried and everyone of them was a massive douchebag.

Just my experience and I do not pretend my experience means anything at all.

[grouchyjarhead]

I carry concealed everywhere. Keep a small individual first aid kit handy (mostly just a tourniquet, gauze, and QuikClot) for myself or my family. A few other small useful things. I see carrying a gun nowadays as no different than carrying a sword in the old days.

I like and respect the police, but you can't always rely on them. Los Angeles has the fastest police response time in the country at 5.7 minutes. That's a long time to be waiting for help when you need it.

Regular training is key.

I’d never open carry. Not because I’m afraid I will spray the mall with bullets if someone takes my Auntee Em pretzel. I wont open carry because of the high number of non-carrying idiots who might see my weapon as a challenge to them.

I carry everyday when I’m not at school. I go places like a regular guy, buy groceries, gas, etc. I converse with strangers. I get bumped into at the store. I get cut off in traffic, like most everyone else.

Yet, through it all, I’ve never reached for my weapon, or even felt like I needed it.

I also don’t drive around looking to get into a car accident because I “carry” car insurance.

No amount of training will stop a determined person.
