What should one do if the “worst happens to you” is the premise of a viral video about protecting oneself against an active shooter. Though there are valuable tips within the two-minute “infomercial”, the irony is one can use a fire extinguisher as a weapon, scissors as a weapon, chairs, tables and belts to inflict bodily harm on a shooter, but NOT use a gun.
It is reminiscent of the “duck and cover” Civil Defense films that urged children and adults alike to hide under a desk as protection from an atomic bomb. This idea today seems ludicrous, a desk protecting children from a bomb, yet this same logic is being used and encouraged during an active shooter scenario. Don’t bring a gun to a gun fight, but a belt to lock the door.
Watch the video on the following page. It does have some good insights and they certainly may save one’s life, but just as a desk won’t save from a nuclear bomb, neither will a belt keep a person alive either.
Is that door bullet proof? Sorry, but I’d rather see an end to gun free zones.

My family is too important not to protect. All of of ours should be. Pack.
Not all doors open like that? All guns work the same.
Get a gun
Very sad that this is the best our government can do to protect us. Our world has changed and not for the better.
WMD? Yeah right! It is just a semi automatic rifle you idiot. The govt has WMD!
We do have a govt. They just don’t represent America.
Reminds me of obozo’s suggestion to the recruiters…….hide behind the window shades.
Gun, the best self defense.
