School shootings

[Deleted User 276]

I feel somewhat protected living in a thight-knit community - town 450 residents and county of 15,000. A mass shooting would shatter this town as it would any community. Right now I enjoy the "protection" but know that it is fragile.

I love small towns. Found out the hard way just how small towns can still be touched by a mentally ill person with a gun when our hospital was shot up.

I think about an exit strategy for myself, my friends, and my son every single Saturday.

Why every Saturday?

I am the farmer's market manager for our county. I work every Saturday at the biggest event in our town and I get my son to help with set up and running the market.

I do the same thing ( look for an exit strategy). Back when me and my daughter were working Walmart together I always thought of the easiest exit for her and myself. I even talked to her about where to go and meet me if she was to ever hear gun shots. This was way before the shootings at Walmart but even then we constantly had to do drills on active shooters. So Walmart employees have been actively taught on what to do in a shooting situation for quite some time.

Do you find it sad? I know I do. My 16 year old shouldn't have to think about such shit. When my daughter was 16, we lived in Africa and she didn't have to think about stuff like this.

Yes. Very much sad and scary. I was just think how we never had to worry about if we would make it home alive when we were in school.

It’s not a worry I ever had, since I don’t live in the U.S, the thought that someone will just go into a school, or a supermarket and start shooting people is so foreign to me. My oldest is going to study in America this year and I confess I am worried for him. I know inside the school he’ll be safe, but I worry about his safety outside.
