re: What would be your plan of escape during a mass shooting at work?

There is no sure fire escape plan. Sheltering in place leaves you a sitting duck. Exiting the building might put you in the sights of an accomplice waiting outside. The only way you know your plan worked is after it's over. If you're alive, you made the right choice. If you're not, you chose poorly.

I have a question for you.... If it's a big post-mexican food terd, do you keep pushing it out after the initial release or pinch it off mid stream? I would think that if you kept going with it that you just wanted to shite your pants. Just know that if you blame the situation, the truth will come out when there is a tail in your pants.

Neither can we. That’s why you buy an inside the belt holster. I’ve carried a .44 on my person daily for years with not one person knowing anything about it.

If there was a shooter immediately in the hall, I would close my office door and lock it. Then I would push my heavy desk in front of it and just hope for the best.
I have three direct exits around me, so I could easily book it to opposite ends of my office should I have the time to do so. All just depends on where the shooting starts, but my priority would be to lay low.

It has nothing to do with being edgy, boy. It has everything to do with not wanting to be in a office full of unarmed people with one armed guy wanting to kill us all.

I value my job. Hell, I’ve been here over 20 years. But unless someone comes up and pulls my shirt and pullover off, nobody will ever know I have It.

There is only one correct answer:
1. Open the door
2. Get on the floor
3. Everybody walk the dinosaur.

What would be your plan of escape during a mass shooting at work?
My new job would be tough. My office door opens to a wide open hallway with the 2 main entrances to the building being on each side, so that's not good. If I felt confident enough to make it across the hall, there's a lot of glass and chairs, so I could get out that way. But I'd honestly probably opt to lock the door and take my chances. I have a drawer at my desk with files and what not so I'd just keep something like that handy, and if someone did bust through the door I'm just throwing them all in the air and bum rushing whoever opened the door and hoping for the best.
That's my plan...RIP OT.

frick sheltering in place, I'm gone. I think the dumbest advice ever is telling people to hunker down or play dead
I mentioned my new office layout within my building. I walk right out of the door to a big hallway with the main entrances to the left and right of my office. If I hear shooting pretty close, the 100% best idea is to hunker down and the 100% worst idea is to walk right out of my office into the open.

You stay put and it's like shooting fish in a barrel.

quote:That's not so. The expert advice is Run/Hide/Fight. But if running is not an option due to the location of the shooter, then you shelter in place, but it's not the first or preferred method at all.
I know the expert advice is to shelter in place

I got to take part of an active shooter drill when I was in the military and it was eye opening to say the least. All party's knew it was a drill (military, local police, and EMS) and it was still a huge clusterfrick. My take aways from it were:
1) If you can't run, definitely hide. You won't be a sitting duck if you pick a secure place to hide. Me and some friends were told to hide as if we were in shock (not come out when police made their presence known). Well two hours into the drill we were bored as shite because the cops came in, "cleared the room", and walked right past our hiding spot between filing cabinets.
2) Once police arrive I wouldn't be walking around with my gun if I wasn't the shooter. A couple of people got "shot" with blanks by local police when they acted their part and jumped out acting scared and needing help.

We recently had a guy come into our peds ER armed with large knives in both of his hands threatening staff and visitors. Security quickly got him out of the hopsital where he fled and then tried to charge at police across the street with the knives. Really bad move on his part. Don’t bring knives to a gun fight.
In my old ER this former psych patient comes in to Triage and I just happened to be walking by so I'm assisting him right at the front desk. He's clearly got psych issues and he says during his last visit Security took his knife from him and he didn't get it back...he was clearly agitated. So I'm asking him to explain what it looks like to go check the Lost and Found, and he just whips out this 10 inch knife he had on him and says, "It looks like just this one."
That was a bit scary to say the least. But luckily he meant no harm, and a cop was about 20 feet away and I was able to summons him while talking to the patient by just kinda giving him that look of "Get over here quickly"

He tried fleeing to break into a nearby apartment window with knives on hand. Cops tried to calm him down and told him to drop the knives. He refused and then turned and walked towards him with knives still in hand. They then shot him with a bean bag gun thing to stun him. He still came at them with the knives and a cop shot him.

I just signed up for the Dwight K. Schrute Academy of Office Defense Techniques. I'll let you know after I finish the course.

I have a Sig P226 and I might not get out but there will be a hell of a gunfight trying.
Posted on 2/15/18 at 11:18 am to Eightballjacket
Bum rush the shooter.... make the larger office people go first, make a wall.. then BAM!
Seriously, try to hide someplace where I could have element of surprise, once I got hands on him or the gun. Total confidence in taking control.

My wife work for an open air concert venue. She just had her active shooter training this week. We go to a lot of shows there. Since Vegas, I keep my eyes open at all the roof tops around. Crazy I actually think about my escape plan in a situation that I should be enjoying a concert.
