Self defense, Current Events
A news piece on the reality of the "active shooter" scenario was recently aired by WCPO in Cincinnati. The story relates the (somewhat dated) news that law enforcement now understands waiting a half-hour to assemble a tactical team to make entry during such an event costs lives.
What's surprising in this story is the admission that "weapons prohibited" signs actually result in more victims. They point out that not only do weapon-free zones eliminate the ability to fight back against an attacker, the signs themselves actually entice a killer to pick that spot for his spree. As those of us in the self defense movement have been saying, criminals prefer unarmed victims - and what better way to find them than through advertising?
Remember: what seems obvious to us isn't often so to others. Kudos to WCPO for having the courage to look at facts, not hyperbole.
