Have you thought about what you'd do if confronted with an active shooter?

58. Probably drop to the ground. Preferably BEHIND something. And call 911.

And yeah, I have thought about it. Scary. Disgraceful that it's even something well-worth thinking about. It's a damn shame that this can happen, and DOES. I mean, how many shootings is this - since just, well, say, Newtown, CT? Is this many in almost a year's time still an okay number of 'em - before we finally decide something definitive simply HAS TO be done (and maybe make it as hard to come by a gun as it now is to vote, for example).

A friend of mine was previously going to come through LAX today, before having to change to a different flight on a different day. Today! I just departed and arrived through there last weekend. YES certainly living one's life in fear is no way to live. True. But why not just be observant? I have friends who always make note of the exits wherever they go. First thing they do is scan for the exits whenever they enter someplace. Just because. If I remember to, I do also. Also good in case of fire, btw.
