Really? where's all the guns when these guys start shooting? It seems they are shot by cops all the time, who are supposed to have guns.

It’s also worth noting that there are many stories of a legally armed citizen preventing a crime, saving another from a crime, or protecting themselves from an attacker. But you won’t see those stories on CNN as it doesn’t play into their anti second amendment agenda.

Doesn't get the notoriety it deserves.

I find it interesting that a few times a year you see a story about one sibling killing another because one was hogging the Xbox.

And these stories of SWATTING, another of which was on the news earlier this week, are highly disturbing and a good indication that the youth of today are INSANE.....God help this planet 30 years from now.

As for how modern games effect youngsters these days....well as an almost 50 year old Call of Duty addict....I have no doubt whatsoever that it negatively effects teens who play it and other similar first person shooters. I have no problem admitting that the fun of it is shooting people in the head with the machine gun of my choice. Why the hell else would I play it

Had to pick up a roll of carpet from Lowes this morning . Bought and paid for last nite, all I had to do was roll in first thing, and put it in my truck . Or, so I thought . 45 minutes later ....
There was no one in the carpet department who knew where my roll of carpet was, and no one who could cut me a new piece .
Half the store was participating in " active shooter training".
I guess it is the world we live in .
I have to be honest, I think about it in nearly every place I go now. I sort of have a plan as to what I would do, where I would run, where to hide , what I would do if the kids were with me etc...
Kind of sucks when you really think about how much this affects our daily lives
Do you have any sort of plan in place ? What are you gonna do when you have a grocery cart full of your weekly take, and you hear the distinct pop pop pop. ?

I am lucky that I live in a pretty rural area. Most of the youth locally are decent kids. Lots of farm kids. Here we have street dances, truck and tractor pulls, dirt track racing, farmers markets.

One of my units under my command teaches this on a daily basis. Unfortunately, our world has changed and we must pre-plan for the monsters of society.

We put together a video that provides some excellent tips.
