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.msb64 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 25, 2019 5:44 pmI am the farmer's market manager for our county.

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.BionicBunny wrote: ↑Sun Aug 25, 2019 5:48 pmI do the same thing ( look for an exit strategy).

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.msb64 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 25, 2019 7:43 pmDo you find it sad?

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.
