Then see what I can do to possibly stop the shooter before more people get hurt. All without trying to wet my pants.

First you have the safety of yourself and those that are with you. Then them around you at the same time do you know the situation you will be in? How can you train for something you do not know? For myself I prey you are never in a situation that you have to deal with a shooter, but if you are I hope you and the others around you are not harmed. Life is to short for some wac job to mess up for you. If your like me I find ways of doing that on my own. Live life to the fullest and deal with things when they come.

You are going to do what's best for you at that time. Just remember you never know how many are actual players in the game.
