Liberty University [VA] active shooter response video - Run Hide Fight Shoot

[mr1337]

This is the first active shooter video I've seen that has taken into account legal concealed carry, and they do it very well.

I think that girl place a M&P Shield in her drawer. Great video, thanks for sharing!

Imagine that, your safety and that of those around you is your responsibiliy. That's a university that gets it.

Good video. Could have been better if when the gunman walked in the building and pulled out his pistol 5 concealed carry holders pulled theirs and resolved the issue, instead of fleeing.

Excellent video. I would have liked it if they stated the obvious - holster/put away your weapon as soon as the threat is eliminated. It might avoid the handcuffs - or at least included it first. But I know they are trying to keep it short and memorable.

Excellent video. Nice to see Liberty taking such a stance. Thanks for posting this.

The only problem I saw with that video is that the woman put that Shield in the drawer without anything protecting or covering the trigger. It was just loose in there with everything else.

I attended one of these classes and even though I do not work in an office environment, I learned to buy or have your employer buy you a #5-20 fire extinguisher and set it in your cubical. No one will realize it is your SD weapon for an active shooter. The FE is second only to a gun and has a range of about 20' to delay/disable the shooter.

This is actually one of the best videos that I have seen on an active shooter! And I will present to my church. One of the things that stands out the most is the mention of CHL/LTC or what ever the states refer to it as. In most cases these universities are GFZ which does nothing more than create a target rich environment. This one uses logic and common sense to the problem. I have not heard of any ND/AD happening here.

Someone did point out the missing trigger guard already. That may have been an 'Israeli carry' instance which is almost as bad, but like above better than a pencil or football helmet.

That's an interesting idea. A fire extinguisher is a poor second to a firearm, but it does give you some stand-off and distraction capability, maybe enough to disorient him long enough to dogpile him and stick a pencil through his eye. I'm going to keep that idea in mind. I know some people who can use it.

As for the pistol in the drawer - yeah I'd feel better if it had a cover on the trigger, but I would not poo-poo leaving it without one in the chamber if it is going to be locked in a drawer or cabinet and not on one's person. Having it locked away means a chance of being separated from the pistol when something else bad happens, like a building fire. In that case you've just left a booby-trap behind if there's a round in the chamber. I would not leave any weapon with one in the chamber unless I had it holstered on my body or right at hand. Locked in a drawer is not what I would call right at hand.

The part in italics is all that's needed. Off-body carry is dumb. Off-body carry in a locked, non-mobile container is even more so.
