And left to our own designs, unfettered by CF-wide circular management, we do it to ourselves. I was only in 13 years and saw at least 2 full cycles of "dispersed gun positions" and "not dispersed gun positions" lol And we can't blame procurement - I think the biggest procurement hurdles...

Which (I know its a different thread) - still holds the record for the deadliest school attack in US History

About 60% of the incidents in the US are over by the time the police get there, based on the 2013 study of active shooters between 2000 and 2013. Not sure what that equates to when you roll in data from 2013 until now. When I do Active Shooter presentations for varying entities, I draw a lot of...

Interesting discussion. I oversee campus security on a University campus in Phoenix. I teach Active Shooter response to staff and faculty. As an aside, I'm part of an armed Church security team at a large Church. I'm also a member of the Association of Threat Assessment Professionals (ATAP) I...

Thanks mariomike - not sure where I got "system", was thinking "syndrome" the whole time 

Air Force One left Saudi Arabia and flew to Israel. That has never happened before. Barely reported. https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2017-05-22/trump-s-saudi-arabia-israel-flight-set-to-break-symbolic-barrier There is optimism on many sides regarding peace...

http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/kyle-drennen/2017/05/16/guests-remind-nbc-cnn-obama-gave-classified-intel-russia I know, I know... that was.... Funny that someone was so incensed about Trump giving the Russians info, that they gave it to the Washington Post lol

Thanks. In my ex-wife's family, my father in law was an Immigration Officer, my brother in law a Customs Officer, and 2 more Brother In Laws were Border Patrol Agents. I have a decent handle on the nuances. Plus I live in a border state and security is part of my job so I work with a number of...

I can only comment with a single, statistically insignificant anecdote...  My wife is a MMJ User. Quadriplegic with Spinal Muscular Atrophy her whole life, uses a wheelchair - progressive disease with no cure. Several years ago she had a foot amputated below the knee. After almost a year on...
