For
schools, agencies, and places of work that adopt an Active Shooter
Response Program the primary benefit will be the elimination of their
organization's gun free policy. Decades of academic crime research
demonstrates that criminals dominantly choose victims they believe to
be unarmed. The ASRP is designed to make potential active shooters
aware they will face armed resistance from the outset of an attack.
It is a “deterrence with teeth” that empowers individuals,
targeted by active shooters, to protect themselves and others during
a criminal shooting incident where criminals or terrorists are intent
on multiple fatalities. The ASRP charges the actual targets of active
shootings to be responsible for their safety, and that of those who
cannot defend themselves, instead of solely depending on the “wait
and hope” plan of dialing police.
There
are five Active Shooter Response Programs:
1.
ASRP for Private and Public Schools (K-12)
2.
ASRP for Colleges and Universities
3.
ASRP for Hospitals and Medical Facilities
4.
ASRP for Military Posts and Bases
5.
ASRP for Businesses and Places of Work
Gun free regions of the world are complete humanitarian
disasters. In the existing era of frequent active shootings and
Islamic terrorism society must take greater responsibility for its
own protection. The more Americans rely on government to provide for
our “safety” the more of our freedoms government will take to
provide it.
