Frequently Asked Questions

What is the FASTER program discussed on Gun Talk Radio?

The FASTER program, originating in Ohio, is a training initiative for teachers and school personnel focused on active shooter response. It aims to equip volunteers with the skills to intervene and potentially stop an attack, reducing the time it takes for law enforcement to arrive.

How does media coverage of mass shootings potentially influence future events?

The extensive media coverage of mass murderers, including their names and backgrounds, can provide them with the notoriety they seek. This 'celebrity' status may inspire copycat attacks, as perpetrators learn from and react to the attention given to previous events.

What is the difference between an AR-15 and an AR-10 for civilian use?

For home defense and general shooting, the AR-15 is recommended due to its more affordable ammunition and smaller receiver, typically firing 5.56x45mm or .223 Remington. The AR-10 is better suited for hunting larger game, as it can chamber larger cartridges like the .308 Winchester.

What advice is given regarding personal safety and school security?

The discussion emphasizes that feeling safe is not the same as being safe. It advises against solely relying on external entities like police for safety and encourages personal preparedness. Having trained individuals on-site, like through programs such as FASTER, is seen as crucial for immediate interdiction.
