"I will not run away" is a developed mindset. While it's always been my personality to run to a bad event in the hopes I can help, I have to say that I never considered what I'd do in an "active shooter" situation. As of the latest shootings, my family has sat down and worked up plans of action. If we have a plan, we're not left standing. wondering what to do. My wife and daughters' plan includes taking cover, escape, hiding, etc, depending on their circumstance at that moment. Mine is to run to the problem. I'll asess as I go, but I'm going. We're training our minds, that's all. Like not applying brakes on ice, sometimes your training has to overcome your immediate reaction. I'm glad to see others feel the same as I do, it IS what I expected. We need to get the word out with our friends that our strength is in our numbers, and acting as a cohesive element to protect others. And I pray that I'm never faced with having to act on this, or that anyone ever has to. Steve
