Check this: Boulder County District Judge Andrew Hartman blocked Boulder from enforcing bans on assault-style weapons and large-capacity magazines on March 12.  Less than two weeks back, they stopped bans on things like AR-15s and whammo, a lunatic shooter shows up and kills 10 people. Out of the clear blue, because you know, if it was still banned, he wouldn’t have killed those folks, right? Give me a break.

I let the Atlanta shootings go without mention, but now we’ve had another one in Colorado.  First off, for anyone new, you probably don’t know that I’m a silent partner in a weapons training company. We teach self defense shooting, “gun fighting,” tactical weapon operation, active shooter response, etc. So, while I’m opinionated about guns, let me be clear...I don’t know everything, but I’ve probably been around more high level tactical weapons trainers than 99% of you.

When you rub shoulders with ex-military snipers, High level ambassador body guards, military special ops instructors, etc. some of it rubs off on you.

First off, the conspiracy angle. Let me get that right out in the open. It is no secret that Biden and Harris ran on an anti-gun, ban assault weapons platform. Amazingly, these two take over, and in two short months there’s two really high profile active shooting incidents? Wouldn’t that lead to even more calls for more gun control? Indeed and on Tuesday at about 1 pm, Biden was on the camera’s calling for a ban on assault rifles and high capacity magazines.

Am I saying that the Atlanta and the Colorado shooting were false flags? Not in the sense you might think. Those things happened and those poor people are dead. But, what’s the common link here?  The Atlanta kid had been in therapy for an addiction to sex and he was taking out his issues on massage parlor girls. ( Mentally unstable).

The Colorado lunatic was described by his family as “mentally ill.” He was convinced someone was always following him, and “after him.” His brother said he was paranoid, anti-social, and hated Trump. A perfect patsy.

Now, I can’t say this happened, but we have proof it’s happened before; let’s say you wanted some mass shootings so that the anti gun folks had some real big reasons to push their bills through Congress. How hard would it be for an “influencer” from any of a dozen dark agencies that work with DC, to approach mentally ill people like this, and mind control them into doing something that evil?  It wouldn’t be hard at all, in fact, whistle blowers from dark agencies have fessed up to it in past events.

We call them patsy’s. Think the Aurora Colorado theatre shooting. Mentally ill. Think the Murray building patsy. Mentally ill. On and on I could go. My point being that I find it wayyyy too coincidental that we’ve had two high profile shootings that MAKE NO SENSE in under 2 months.  That is not by accident folks.

Oh and by the way, we have an enormous mental health problem in this country. When they closed down all the so called “insane asylums” in the 60’s and 70’s, all those folks had no safe place to be. They get prescribed all manner of drugs and they’re let loose in society. It’s truly sad, that folks with serious mental issues, rarely have any safe place to go.

Okay, so the shooting was indeed real, the motive… well, let’s just say it’s Fishy.  So let’s move on.

Awareness is one of the first and most important things we teach concerning self-defense, whether armed or unarmed. Some people tend to think we’re teaching people to be paranoid, but that’s not the goal or intention. We want people to be aware of their surroundings. Who’s in the spaces? Does everything look normal? Is something out of place?

Likewise, when inside a building, ANY building, look around, look for exit signs. Look to see where at the back of the store is the doors where the employees are bringing out groceries on carts to restock, or clothes to be hung up, what ever the situation. You might need those as escape routes one day.

Situational awareness is your first line of defense against a multitude of bad things that could happen. If you pull into a gas station at 9 pm, and hanging around the corner of the building is a guy smoking a cigarette, but he happens to have what you might consider a bat, or club in his hand, you might want to try the station across the street or further along. Noticing little things, can often get you out of a bad situation before it happens.

So far, the story is that this lunatic shot two people in front of the store, one close by in the parking lot, and one literally on the sidewalk in front of the store. (Note that could be wrong, as information is fluid, because this guy could have shot from inside the store and hit someone outside.)

Let’s just say he was coming to the store, and he pops off two people. You happen to be in that store. What are your thoughts?  I have told you people this several times it is NEVER EVER EVER okay to hear gunshots in a mall, a Target, a Walmart, a Grocery store, etc. NEVER.

The Second you hear that sound, you should be instantly hurrying to one of those exit signs you saw, or to the back of the store where the stock is kept. You don’t get curious and “go see” what’s happening. Yeah, you might be lucky and capture some cool You tube video, or you might just get capped.

Word is that when he was shooting inside, there was a stampede for the front exits. WRONG. Please folks, this is a shooters wet dream. Everyone panicking trying to get through those two skinny doors is a pile up of human bodies. Easy pickins.

Don’t follow the masses like that and get herded by the doors. You’re a sitting duck. Move away from the shooter, but heading toward side or rear entrances. Even if he sees you, he’s not as likely to try and hunt down a moving single target, he’ll go to where the killing is easiest. That’s the mass of people jammed in the doorway.

What if you’re armed and you have your weapon on you? RUN. Find the exits. If you can’t get out a side or back exit, HIDE. You are NOT paid to stop a shooter. Yes we’d all love to help our fellow man, and hey if by some chance this lunatic does come into the backroom looking for victims, maybe you do get to be a hero by creating a kayak rack in his head. But don’t go looking for it.

Your best defense against any form of shooting is distance and shelter. If you can’t have shelter, get as far away from the shooter as possible. Keep that distance. Let’s say a shooter is at the front of your local Grocery store, and you know he’s shooting the register folks.  You should be as far away from him as possible. Even if he sees you and takes a shot, he’s probably no marksman, they never are. But if he starts coming toward you, you have to put more distance between you and him.

I know what’s coming. The left is going to go full tilt on getting all they can out of this latest, uhm, thing.  Biden just said it. The opening salvo has been fired. There’s going to be more. I hate to say it, as much as guns are in short supply and ammo worse, get more if you can. They want you disarmed, and they’re coming.

Stay safe out there. If any of you want to come to Sarasota FL and train with the best ( LOL, not me, but our staff) let me know. We can set you up.
