Greetings Sheepdogs,
***** Mindset *****
Last night, 11/17/15, Federal Bureau of
Investigation, Assistant Special Agent in
Charge (of the Nashville, TN area),
Jeffery E. Peterson spoke to the Tennessee
Firearms Association. I paraphrase.
He told us that, in the event of an active shooter
incident, the best course of action for the individual's
survival is to run. Get out of the building. Get out
of the area. Because those who hide get killed.
Don't hide, run!
If you decide to fight the bad guy, consider
your competence and chaos:
Competence --
He gave the example of persons driving their cars in
a snow storm on icy roads. The average drive (who
learned to drive from his parents) driving a rear-wheel
drive economy car might end up off the road in a ditch.
Whereas, the highly trained driver (military, police,
or private driving school) driving an all-wheel drive
sedan, might have no problem getting where she's going.
Do you know that you can operate in a high stress
situation while injured, distinguish between good guys
and bad gals with insufficient information, move quickly
while injured, apply accurate fire to moving targets at
varying distances while moving yourself, and while
getting shot at? Do you know that your equipment will
function under adverse conditions (or does your pistol
malfunction every so often on the range)? If not,
you might consider running away. Because getting
yourself killed isn't going to help anyone. While on
the other hand, being a good witness, giving the police
accurate timely information on which they can operate
would be great for everyone.
Chaos --
Consider that when the law enforcement officers
arrive on the scene the situation will be chaotic.
The officers will have insufficient information and
possibly false information (because when people
panic, they misinterpret observations, so the witness
reports are often wrong). This means there is a
real danger that you will be shot by responding officers
because you are holding a pistol. The LEOs are not
going to have time to interview you before deciding
whether or not to shoot you.
Once, you have incapacitated the bad guy and
determined that there are no other bad guys, you need
to separate yourself from your pistol and and show
that your hands are empty to avoid getting shot by
responding officers.
Since the Columbine incident, law enforcement
officers in our country are taught ALERRT
(Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training).
The protocol for an active shooter incident used to be
to secure the perimeter and call for tactical support.
But, too many people died at Columbine. So, ALERRT
training says, whoever is there should immediately
counter attack. [Sounds like what we learned in the
Marine Corps, immediately counter attack any attack.]
This is of course, much more dangerous for the
responding officer. So, don't put yourself in a
position to get shot. Don't force the officer to
shoot you.
Always carry a spare magazine, because you will
need it to clear malfunctions.
If you're part of a security team for your church,
make sure you know who else is armed in the
congregation.
***** Training *****
Boundaries
https://tacticalprofessor.wordpress.com/2015/11/13/friday-fundamentals-boundaries/
If you don't feel comfortable about the guy
approaching you, yell "STOP!". Any decent person
will stop and walk away. If he continues toward you,
he has demonstrated malice that you can articulate to
the responding officer.

On the Unlikelihood of Slaying Monsters...
...and, yet, the reasons monsters must be slain...
http://michaelbane.blogspot.com/
I remember the story ...
For lack of a nail, a shoe was lost.
For lack of a shoe, a horse was lost.
For lack of a horse, a cavalry man was lost.
For lack of a cavalry man, a battle was lost.
For lack of a battle, a war was lost.
For lack of a nail, ... a war was lost.
(I first read this in Latin class in 7th or 8th
grade.)
This is why the Marine Corps teaches attention
to detail. Yes, you can turn the tide of battle.
Yes, what you do does matter.

Greetings Sheepdogs,
***** Mindset *****
"Jennifer, a Deputy in Orlando, FL got shot
10 times. She shot and killed the two men
who were shooting her (only fair). She was
back on the job a year later."
-- Col. Dave Grossman
The Colonel was making the point that
getting shot need not stop you from doing.
It is fairly common not to know that you got
shot. That is why we teach our students to
examine themselves and others for injuries
after an incident. The adrenaline (epinephrine)
in your blood stream and other things may
prevent your awareness of the pain and burning
sensation.
"I was talking to a Navy Seal. I said, you're
not very big. The Sailor said, not many of us
are, we're just trained."
-- Jimmy Meeks
The pastor was making the point that
training is essential. What differentiates
sheepdogs from sheep is training. Many sheep
are willing to fight to protect others, (as
any parent would protect their child) but they
are not competent to do so. So, they lack the
confidence, so they don't fight. Or, they do
and get themselves killed. Which doesn't help
anyone.
The above is from a webinar with
Lt. Col. Dave Grossman,
Police Officer and Minister Jimmy Meeks, and
Church Security Expert Carl Chinn at
http://livestream.com/accounts/14289416/events/4481130
What I leaned from the webinar --
At church, lock all back doors. Force
everyone to come through the front doors. This
allows the sheepdogs to check out everyone entering
the building and it ensures everyone entering
knows that the sheepdogs are checking them out.
This prevents criminals from sneaking in without
being seen to commit crimes and escape without
being seen.
While everyone else is closing their eyes and
bowing their heads to pray, the sheepdogs must
pray with their eyes open and looking around.
Gideon chose his soldiers by how they drank water
at the lake. Those who brought the water up to
their mouth while looking around to the horizon,
Gideon chose. Those who put their face down to
the water and so could not see the horizon, Gideon
sent home.
Minister Meeks reported that two pastors had
recently been shot while praying. We must adapt
to reality and prevent this from happening.
I have been trained since birth to close my
eyes and bow my head when praying. I will have
difficulty breaking this habit. All of life is
intentionally breaking habits and intentionally
forming new habits.
***** Training *****
Incompetent people get themselves killed
when they try to defend others. Which doesn't
help anyone. Yes, training takes time and
commitment. Marine Corps Recruit Training takes
three months (full time, including weekends).
Training is not cheap. Training requires
sacrifice. Anything worthwhile in life requires
sacrifice.
Decide to get training. Get training.
And then, practice. Combat skills are perishable
skills. You must practice.

Slow is smooth. Smooth is efficient.
Efficient with practice is fast. (Practice
means 2000 repetitions. Which is the minimum
to engrain muscle memory.)
