this terrible event has generated a lot of discussions on the topics of guns and violence and schools.

A couple years ago there was a robbery at my credit union. Two customers were shot, one died. If I had not been on jury duty that day its likely I would have been there at that exact time.

Which caused me to spend a great deal of time thinking: If you are in a situation where someone is armed and threating to harm or kill people, what should you do?

I know that many gas station and convience stores have a policy of non-resistance. Give the robber what they want and dont resist. But those situations are unique, at a convience store they are after money.

But at other places, schools, offices, public buildings - if they are not after money they have other intentions.

I know this is a very difficult topic, but if you ever find yourself in that situation you wont have time to think things over, you must decide beforehand how you will react.

I know what I will do.
