Run, Hide, Fight

I recently had a customer who purchased a tactical pen, he had said he heard about them during a company training on active shooters there are several videos out there on this topic and a lot of businesses are conducting training for employees which in my opinion is great. I was in the Navy for 22 years and I do know that proper training works, the only issue I see in the training most businesses are conducting is the amount of training given, most companies are doing this training annually  I am not saying this isn't a good idea but for training to work especially for something involving a high stress situation it has to be more frequent. In the Navy we are all taught to be firefighters this starts in bootcamp and continues throughout your career the best training is the hands on training and the most realistic scenarios but most important is the frequency of the training yes during what seems like endless drills we do complain but I can say when faced with a real situation most fall back on the training.

I suspect that this type of training will become a lot more common and in the next few years most companies will be adding active shooter training to their required training list. At Best Security Protection we do not claim to have the solution but I hope to have some tools for people to add to their emergency situation kit. If run and hide do not work the only option left is to fight not everyone is carrying a handgun and there are a lot of places where you can not carry even if you have a conceal carry liscense but there are several other ways to arm yourself. In closing I want to be clear pepper spray or a stun gun would not be my first choice in an active shooter situation (and yes that's what I sell) but at this moment in time I do not carry a handgun and if I am in a situation where fight is my only option I want something to improve my odds.
