Active Shooters

Yes, there have been too many shootings lately. Oh, let's not forget there was also a mass knifing and another person bludgeoned to death with a hammer on the same day as the school shooting that is getting all of the press.

While each and every one of these incidents are sad, we must be careful not to rush to blame the tools (guns) being used. Note the three examples I listed used three different "tools." What is universal is that there is something fundamentally wrong in the minds of the killers. Perhaps it is manufactured diseases, too much chemical treatment of illness, violent video games, or just poor upbringing. Perhaps this is how God plans to destroy the planet on December 21? Regardless of the conspiracy you choose to embrace, we will all need to remain vigilant.

Today I am sharing two videos that were emailed to me over the past 24 hours. The first was made in Houston for businesses to plan for an Active Shooter scenario. It is actually well done for the average individual.

Note near the beginning of the video you see part of the notice on the door that (in spite of Texas being concealed carry friendly) states this is a "no weapons" building. I will restrict my politicized comments on that to two thoughts:
(1) Nice to designate this building as a safe zone for bad guys, and
(2) Totally naive to believe any criminal is going to NOT carry weapons in because of that stupid sign.

Here is the link to this video:

Thank you to the folks at www.mysurvival101.com for sending this video out.

The next video is a bit different -- not as professional but still has good messages. Cindy and Jeff at SoulSurvivorX2 are a real couple in Florida who have been sharing their experience as they learn more about prepping a survival. Like most of us, they have learned from some mistakes and came back with new videos to show why earlier decisions may not have been the best. I enjoy the odd reality of this couple.

In this video, Cindy shares some basic awareness tips for anyone moving about in public. You can never be too safe in today's world...
