In reply to the discussion: Do you make an active shooter plan when in public spaces? [View all]Happy Hoosier
(7,480 posts)24. Sometimes....
Not all the time, at least not consciously. I do, for example, know where all the places I would go if there was a active shooter at the grocery store. And I know multiple routes to get to them.
But mostly I just try to retain a good awareness of my surroundings and pay attention to what is where I am. Not active planning, per se, but an awareness. FWIW, a lot of that stemmed from when I was a fire fighter, and was constantly thinking about what I would do if there was a fire in the building I was in.

+1.. Walk in and check where the exits are. If sitting face the front. I don't like crowds..

When we had our Pride festival here, I told my husband what the plan was.

Always a plan, maybe not active shooter but an emergency plan that can turn into anything
