Talk about a total waste of State Tax payer money.....

My work has 'active shooter' training and exercises. It's basically hide and seek. We hide silently, behind closed and hopefully locked, doors, and let the shooter seek others who weren't locked out of the offices (in hallways, restrooms, break areas, etc). Eventually, we'll be 'rescued'. There's no training added for fighting back, protecting one's self, or even for the aftermath. All said...worthless. And worse, it's a place that doesn't allow CCW, nor any knives beyond certain length.

We just got to watch a video. There was a fight back scenario, but it was after the run or hide choices. In this video, when trapped in a conference room, it's evidently corporate policy to throw potted plants at an AK armed attacker. Of course, our company is based in California, so who would expect anything any different.

The instructor, a high mucky muck, said in the class in Cali, when he asked who had fired or held a gun or heard gunfire, maybe 2 out of 30 raised their hands. In our CO class, it was 100%. I've formally requested a company approved and provided potted plant for my cube, and I wonder if I can get away with bringing it to meetings.
