Active shooter scenario - Homeland Security booklet
First they say run, then they say hide and as a last resort, throw things at them! I would think lead projectiles at high velocity would be the most appropriate thing to throw.
I will be throwing hollow (point) lead projectiles... These

would have worked with center-of-mass hits as this last shooter did NOT have body armor!

fricken cap lock!
Run & hide use bean bags- we saw how THAT worked for Agent Terry...I guess the Libs don't want their friends, the drug runners to get hurt.

In all these massacres the one thing the shooter wasn't
Expecting was for a "victim" to shoot back.

You are so right. The FIRST words in the booklet should be "DON'T BE A VICTIM". Friggin Homeland Security is a joke. I give them about the same credence as the TSA ninnies.
They should be ENCOURAGING and TRAINING private
citizens so that the bad guys never know which watermelon in that patch is poisoned.
YES THEY Should!

We need something like every responsible citizen is armed. The Israelis get it, but they also understand the threat to their nation's existence.
We need an Appleseed Pistol Program

were saying that you were an instructor at Gunsite.
Which would have been no surprise.
NOPE, I am not. I just stop buy every once in a while

and drop off gunleather to people that go to gunsite without a holster. Or the occasional emergency left handed gun writer supply drop and tire change.

those tend to be for serious firearms enthusiasts though
I was thinking more along the lines of a grassroots movement for the general population. Most people, including me, can't afford to spend a week at Gunsite or Thunder Ranch.

and these schools are the Incubator for a bunch of local and regional instructors. There a re MANY, MANY very affordable pistol courses available.
And then Matches, while some folks may quibble, one can train at most of these matches.
Drills and Qualifiers all help as well. Tom, have you shot in a local match? These are your grass roots shooting schools. Most clubs will welcome new folks with open arms. And one doesn't have to invest thousands to compete. I have shot matches with 2 & 3" 38s and with what ever I was carrying when I showed up...

that tactic being, I have read, the reason the Whacklamics went to suicide bombs. It just didn't pay for their terror-boys to break into a school and start shooting anymore. The Terrs were immediately wasted by armed adults -- who knew how to shoot.
Second Amendment - a Right of OBLIGATION --you be a citizen, then it's your job to join in the common weal and respond to danger that threatens the whole. I really like tha told interpretation, ya know?
