Excellent excellent write-up of steps churches and even businesses need to take. Each point made, with example and reasoning, is excellent. Forwarding to those who can use the action points in this teaching article.
Mulling over that perhaps I need to go back to school to complete chaplaincy, E training, and the Range. Haven't shot a fa since my son was killed several years ago. Mindset. Save lives.
Praying for all involved. That I can do. And well.
Many heroic acts of love toward fellow man. May God heal hearts minds and bodies. May He bring comfort, may He knit AJ and the young worker back together, may He send His ministering spirits according to Hebrews, may He bless those who protect us, Psalm 91 over each. 💐 for AJ's wife and 🏆 for each who was brave for others. 🙏🏼
I learned recently how warriors do well in chaos but sometimes create their own chaos as chaos has become their comfort zone after a career of service to their nation. Those of us who served and digested the article pray for those who continue to serve in cases like this, despite their retirement status. Oaths before God have no expiry. God Bless those who serve and have served. God Bless my American warrior friends from a truly troubled and ungrateful Canada.
Thank you for your excellent analysis and tactics lesson for all of us. As an instructor I work hard to get people to carry a size larger handgun at least than they think they want. Having carried a steel 1911 to 3" plastic wonder 9m and competed with the 3" for 2 years as well, I try to get people to learn from my experience. In our 18 hour pre permit class I, at 5'11" 161lbs, wear a 5" compact with a light ISWB (yes they do exist) and the students never know I have it till I pull it out 7 hours and 2 classes in... We talk about ones identity and how it is subconsciously wrapped up in your fashion statement and how the identity and fashion statement rightly change as a gun owner and responsible carrier. When we get to the hands on part they learn how gun shop feel has zero correlational to actual shoot-ability as almost all students choose a gun other than their best feel good choice after real trigger time. I love pre permit instruction because most shooters suffer from the Dunning-Krugger effect but when they experience the difference it becomes indisputable. Thank you for your basic qualifier. Every church security member that has dared to take it (I offer a free class to these guys just to get my hands on them) has initially failed, to their surprise!
Thank you for the update and synopsis Keith. I was able to make a donation also to AJ's GiveSendGo account. It was almost at 180k a little bit ago. You and the group have made some very great suggestions. Take care. It makes me reconsider carrying my .45 vs a subcompact 9mm.
I passed this along to our entire safety team. Also donated to AJ's recovery and forwarded the link to them as well as my 'everyone' list. Praying for all the people affected, Keith! God bless, Don Price
Hey brother! Have you seen the results of the GiveSendGo? Amazing! It went up $500 while I was posting my gift and message. Keep up the GREAT work. See you on the plane again, someday! Ken
I agree with you completely on the material that Ed Monk has brought to light: if you don't have an aggressive responder, preferably armed, within 30 seconds of an attack, then you're going to suffer casualties into the double digits. That forces me to disagree with an emphasis on kit stored in the truck, and the idea that you're going to retrieve your armor and rifle and then go to work.
The odds of you being right on top of your truck when things kick off are vanishingly small. I'll allow for the parking lot detail protecting a fixed position, as in a church security role. But that's a slim minority of people and a minority of cases. The emphasis has to be on a high level of competence with the gun that's on you.
Wow.

As society collectively loses its mind we must be the quiet in this storm.

Great analysis, as always, Keith!
I'll definitely be passing this along to my team and incorporate it into upcoming training scenarios

Keeping us informed for what well may come our way!

Great video!! Do you ever run a suppressor on your AR ?
Not for this set up. I do on the weapons that I plan on selecting for CQB issues.
Thanks for letting us know about AJ - I donated, and am praying for him and his family.
Thank you Sandra!
What sort of identification on a plate carrier do you recommend if it came to that?
Go on Amazon and buy one that says security! Get it in reflective writing, and make sure it’s white or silver on black
Thanks for the lessons on this, Keith! I've forwarded this to my team, as I have other videos of yours also. Praying for AJ.
Keith, how is your friend doing? Keep us posted on his progress - and share our prayers with him and his family.
He went home yesterday. He has a long road ahead of him and he is not sure he will get 100% use of his arm again. But praise God he’s alive.

Great info. Thanks Keith.
Don't fight with your carry gun... carry your fighting gun.
