I hope this topic isn't too grim.. This is about the mindset to have in advance, in case the situation ever arises.
They tell kidnap victims never to leave with someone at gunpoint (when attempted in public, on the streets at night etc), always to run away, because statistically if you leave with someone at gunpoint, you never come back. Whatever kidnapper wanted, he'll find someone else.
I believe people should train their family how to handle certain scenarios. In the event of a home invasion where burglars want to tie up the family---- Is it best to have at least one person run away? At the expense of the rest?
For example--not to surrender if burglars have a family member held at gunpoint, using this to capture the rest of the family? ie, 'Come on out of the bathroom we have a gun to moms head'... to climb out window and escape.
Reason being, that burglars would just leave quickly (thinking cops are coming) instead of killing everyone. Of course sometimes they massacre everyone anyway yet at least one escaping is the hand you're dealt?
Thoughts?
