Your priorities match my own: Protect mine, protect me, protect others.bburgi wrote: I have no romantic notions of being a hero, a maverick or a wanna-be SWAT guy... I simply know that I could not allow another person to be killed if I knew I had the power and opportunity to protect them.
With that said, in a mall setting my mind is set to do the following
#1 find cover and get ready to defend myself from a direct assault (ie: stay alive)
#2 assess the situation to see if I have any opportunity to take out the BG
#3 act accordingly (ie: if I cannot resonably shoot the BG, I find my exit- if I can take him/her out I take my shot)
If my family or friends are with me, my priorities change. In that case, their lives are my only concern. My actions are to:
#1 find cover if in the direct line of fire and get ready to defend my loved ones
#2 get the heck out of dodge with my loved ones as soon as possible.
Excellent post!
