It's been safe for 10 days.

It's been safe for a month.

We go back to the pendulum over to complacency.

And then what happens?

There's another school shooting and we do the same cycle all over again.

That is the safety trap.

And that just coming to the middle, that no longer living on the fringe, but just that everyday safety requires the participation of everyone framework of understanding is really all of us need to succeed in staying safe.

And those very simple components are critical, but also very simple for, and also just a very small prices to pay for the liberties and the freedoms which flow so freely from peace.

But to your point, you're exactly right.

When you start just thinking that nothing's going to happen, your vigilance goes down, your risk goes up, and that is the paradox of the safety trap.

Run, hide, fight.

Run Hide Fight has done more disservice to the survivability of those who are in schools or workplaces that are targeted for violence.

So here's the problem, is that schools care more about accountability than they do about survivability.

And what do I mean by that?

The whole premise of Run, Hide, Fight was a military application.

It came from Sears school where pilots and special operators would be trained in what to do if you were ever taken prisoner of war.

And basically what that meant was if you got shot down behind enemy lines and you were captured and you were considered a prisoner of war, if you had the opportunity to escape, you ran as far as you can trying to get to friendly forces.

Now, if you got to the point where you were so tired you couldn't move anymore, you would hide.

You would camouflage yourself until you got your energy back.

And then you would keep running.
