How to Survive an Active Killer Attack?
Before we begin, let’s call these terrorists as “Active Killer” not “Active Shooter”. I am a shooter, not these crazed lunatics.
When I was a young man, suicidal mad man would kill people they have a beef with. Today, the suicidal mad man has become the “Active Killer” who wants to rack up as many dead and injuries as possible. Many students ask me what is the best way to survive an active killer scene?
First, avoid all “Gun-Free Zone” if all possible. Government in their infinite wisdom trying to protect the public, designate certain areas as “Gun-Free Zone”, which is also know as “Victim Disarmament Zone”, where no law-abiding citizens can carry a firearm for self-defense. And of course, the criminals/terrorist by reading the “Gun-Free Zone” sign will decide not to bring their weapons to that location. You may have noticed, “ALL” mass shootings occurred in “Gun-Free Zone” where the madman knew he will not encounter any armed resistance.
Second, avoid crowded places/events. Since these mad “Active Killer” wish to kill/harm as many innocent people as possible, they will select places where large crowd is gathering, such as sporting events, concerts, schools, malls, churches and hospitals. When combined the “Gun-Free Zone” and large crowd, it makes a ideal targeted location for the mad man.
Third, learn “Group Defense” against an active killer! The active killer will have superior weapons and firepower, however, the active killer will not able to defeat a group of people that are willing to fight back. Just like The Todd Beamer’s battle cry “Let’s Roll” on United Airline Flight 93, a group of brave individuals will defeat an active killer everytime. I have researched on this subject and found Alon Stivi’s “Last Resort Active Shooter Survival Measures”, to be an excellent resource.
Lastly, join over one million Licenses to Carry citizens in Texas by become a responsible well-trained concealed carrier that can fight back when the madman starts shooting.
