I wonder how many "Active shooter" classes the average active shooter has attended.
Walmart employees watch a 15 minute active shooter video every three months.
Avoid. Deny. Defend.
It's put together by Texas State University.
The Walmart version isn't online, but this one is almost the same, just different set and actors.
I like the part where they say that you have the "legal right" to defend yourself - then show a guy bash in the attacker's head with a fire extinguisher. LOL

We actually had a similar session where I work. The facilitator pointed out that run/hide/fight has serious deficits. Instead the mantra was evade/barricade/attack. He made the point that getting yourself cornered by hiding under the desk or in the bathroom is the worst thing you can do. The idea of evade was to try and stay away until a clear avenue of escape presents itself; this includes preparation by being aware of all possible exits. The stress with this first was situational awareness. The second point was to barricade rather than hide. The facilitator pointed out that active invaders tend to follow the trail of least resistance. Rather than dally, such invaders generally move on. The idea stressed here was to make as effective a barricade as possible: lock the door (if you can), cover the window in the door, pile all the furniture in the room against the door and resist having it all move. Attack was given as "go all out because this guy is trying to kill you." Alternative weapons he mentioned were fire extinguishers (fog first, bash second), any heavy blunt object, sharp objects last because they are the hardest to deploy effectively without training and practice. It was interesting and gave at least some food for thought. The "training" that we had been given previously was from the local PD and was full of partial information or stuff that was completely erroneous. So, if I can't carry, at least some viable alternatives were presented.
enjoy being paid 90min to listen to the libs on the workforce OOOOO, AAAAAA and gasp at all the scary stuff.
sit in the back, be quiet and try not to nap.
when i couldn't carry, my gun was always in my lunchbag a few feet away. always had a good fixed blade on me as well.
Show up, sign in, shut up.
There really isn't any need to speak up OR zip your lip.
All you really need to do is attend and go back to work.
My team conducts internal threat training at my company, which includes an online course, followed by an unannounced internal threat drill sometime during the year. All employees are required to complete the training, annually.
You should attend this important training with an open mind. However, if the training suggests anything other than RUN-HIDE-FIGHT, then it’s not up to the national standard.
RUN-HIDE-FIGHT is the best in class standard for an internal threat anywhere, other than your own home.
