In this critical Red Dot Mindset episode, we tackle one of the most terrifying threats of modern life—active shooter situations. But instead of panic, we offer preparation.
Using FBI data, ALERRT's Avoid | Deny | Defend framework, and insights from security experts like Cade Courtley and Grey Matter Ops, we break down:
- How the threat is evolving
- Common attack locations and warning signs
- How to train your mind under stress
Tactical actions you can take before, during, and after an incident
We also discuss situational awareness, defensive decision-making, and the importance of tools like Stop the Bleed and combat breathing.
This is not about fear—it's about control, action, and survival.
