Run, hide, fight - NY Times

Whats being glossed over RIGHT NOW in the media is that three students stopped the knife attacker in Houston yesterday. He didn't run away. The police didn't get him. Three students tackled him and disarmed him.

Its not logical to expect the police ot be able to respond quickly enough to do anything.

At the IDPA/carbine match folks shot the equivalent of 20 people (ten targets - two shots each) in 30 to 40 seconds (that was with moving around).

Show up 6 minutes later. In my testimony - I stressed that all these mantras assume the first 30 are to die.

Agreed. Even a new shooter can take down 6-8 targets in that period of time, and that includes misses and the timidity factor.
 
UCF event, Orlando FL....

Keep in mind too, the young USAF/OEF veteran(with multiple combat tours) who was calm & cool during the UCF incident a few weeks ago in Orlando Florida.

That incident took place in a dorm room/living area on the University of Central Florida campus. The campus 5-0 rolled in & the subject(also a military veteran) aced himself.

The subject's room-mate, a UCF student was alert & used good tactics.
The event could have been much worse.
