    About this ebook

    An 'active shooter' is a gunmen who isn't interested in robbing you. He wants to kill as many people as he can before he is killed, and expects to die. Law enforcement's advice is for you to 'hide and hope,' but that is in large part because they don't want you complicating their job. This guide is written with you in mind, not them, and urges you not to have a victim mentality.

    The advice given in this guide incorporates the protocols and directions that experts give for surviving an 'active shooter' incident, but assumes that you aren't a school principal or first responder, who have special duties or responsibilities, but rather an average American going about his business, and finds themselves enduring a random act of violence.

    Law enforcement aims to reduce the number of casualties. This guide is written to make sure you aren't one of them.

      Common sense advice, especially about keeping hands up with fingers spread when Law Officials arrive. If folks could simply keep their wits about them, notice what is taking place and follow instructions, the news would have fewer sad stories.
