This thread is for discussing a response to an active shooter in a building. That's the topic. The original poster didn't ask whether or not he should prepare. What's strange to me are folks who come here and spend lots of time and energy to debate vigorously why the topic is not worth discussing. One person even implied that most people here are fat suburbanites who need to be more concerned about a heart attack.

Geez, it's not that complicated. If you want to discuss the topic, then that's great. If you want to talk about something else, then start another thread or maybe even start your own Internet forum.


This is a response to Ireckon's original post above before it was obviously heavily edited.

Thread drift on a forum is like any conversation in real life. Coversation starts on one topic and slowly drifts back and forth to the original topic and several related or non related topics...thats life.

Instead of telling people to start new threads or their own forums, this forum has a "notify" link that will allow you to report any post that you think does not belong. I would rather see the admins here decide what is appropriate and what is not..

Also I did not see any insinuation of "fat suburbanites" in any post.


Anyways back to the original topic...
