Active “Killer”

Re-Defining the Citizen Role in Active Shooter Events

Hi All, I recently read this article published over at the very nice The Secure Dad website.  It’s a well-written article about how to prepare one’s family for an active shooter event. Near the end of the article, however, the author writes: “Don’t try to attack an armed gunman without a weapon of your own. The odds will not be in your favor.

Active Shooter – Become a Sheepdog

  What will you do when an active shooter arrives in your environment? I am of the opinion that the American public are very much sleeping sheep.  While there are some sheepdogs around, it’s not a wise strategy to simply expect others to be one’s sheepdog. Expecting others to be one’s protector is indeed a major characteristic of the American public.  And it’s one of … Continue reading Active Shooter – Become a Sheepdog
