This is welcome. D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier has a piece of advice for you if youre packing heat in her jurisdiction when some jackass opens fire on innocent civilians: Take the shot.
Shell say that on the tube tonight during a 60 Minutes segment thats sure to make gun control activists wail and gnash their teeth in anguish.
Your options are run, hide or fight, Lanier tells Anderson Cooper in the segment. The facts of the matter is that most active shooters kill most of the victims in 10 minutes or less. The best police department in the country is going to be about a five minute to seven minute response.
Just like Second Amendment activists have said all along.
I always say if you can get out, getting out is your first option, your best option, she continued. If youre in a position to try and take the gunman down, take the gunman out, its the best option for saving lives before police can get there. And thats kind of counterintuitive to what cops always tell people. We always tell people, dont take action, call 911, dont intervene in the robbery. Weve never told people, take action. This is a different scenario.
Well said. Were all Minutemen now.
