Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'OFF' protocol for mass shooting survival?

The 'OFF' protocol, proposed by Mike Glover, stands for Observe, Flee, Fight. It encourages a tactical pause to gather information, prioritize escape by creating distance, and only engage the threat as a last resort if cornered.

Do suppressors make guns silent in mass shootings?

No, suppressors do not make firearms silent. They reduce the sound signature by dissipating muzzle blast gases, but the firearm remains audible, especially in confined spaces. Media often inaccurately portrays them as 'silencers'.

Why is 'hiding' criticized in active shooter situations?

Hiding in known locations like closets can make individuals easy targets for shooters familiar with the building layout. The 'OFF' protocol prioritizes fleeing to create distance over passive hiding.

What is considered effective EDC for self-defense?

An effective low-visibility EDC includes essential medical gear, like a tourniquet, and a concealed firearm, such as a Glock 43. Using discreet bags like a fly fishing pack can help blend in.
