Today we can no longer ignore the fact that our schools and children can become the targets of depraved, sick, psychopathic, mentally unbalanced or just plain angry persons.

GUN FREE ZONESSOFT TARGETS

Within the last five years, there have been at least 15 prominent, high-casualty producing active shooter incidents.Most of these cases have occurred in locations where the shooter has been undeterred and unobstructed from carrying out their attack.

GUN FREE ZONESSOFT TARGETS

The incident locations have often been described as soft targets with limited active security measures or armed personnel to provide protection for members of the public. The history of modern active-shooters in the U.S. shows us that the shooter(s) will be killed by the responders, will give up, or will kill themselves when the first hint of tactical pressure is placed upon them.

GUN FREE ZONESA gun free zone will NOT protect our children when someone has decided to commit mass murder.

GUN FREE ZONESMost all of the mass murders in recent time were done in GUN FREE ZONES.

STOPPING THE ACTIVE SHOOTERColumbine taught the Law Enforcement Community that you can’t wait for back up or the SWAT team…You have to go in NOW…the sooner someone confronts the shooter the more lives will be saved. In most all of the recent active shooter incidents, no other innocent victims were harmed after the police/armed citizen confronted the active shooter. In several incidents when confronted, the active shooter shot themself.

STOPPING THE ACTIVE SHOOTER Armed security on campus will give us the fastest response time in confronting an active shooter.
