You might be way too tactical if...
« on: August 23, 2010, 07:04:11 PM »
If you sort out the peas on your plate, and only eat those larger than .4 inches in diameter.

If you force your family to move through the mall in a bounding overwatch pattern.

If you have tried to have a MIL-STD 1913 rail mounted on your forehead.

If you avoid the fatal funnel when entering an elevator.

If your pocket knife has a laser sight.

If your household flashlight has an ACOG, co-witnessed with a laser sight.

If you take a different route on your way back from the buffet line.

If your pajamas were ordered from Concealed Carry Clothiers.

If you check your load-out before going to the mailbox, on the other side of your postage-stamp lawn.

Or If you have tactical under-oos,  MOLLE capable.

Well, I do carry a sidearm to the mailbox, which is almost a quarter mile away  ;)

Thus the bit about the postage stamp lawn.  Made the quip pretty clumsy, but I do strive for accuracy.

The area I keep mowed is only about an acre, so it's like a postage stamp out here  :lol:

You might be too tactical if your safety briefing to employees includes tackling suicide bombers, and your employees are unarmed security guards.

You might be too tactical if your fire safety briefing to employees involves references to throwing frag grenades and taking fortified positions.

I may be wrong, but I think if you live in Israel, some of that stuff might be slightly more sensible than if you were doing it in say, Minnesota.

How much bearing do hand-grenades have on fire safety?

Also, we're unarmed security guards. Were this a location considered a high risk for such events, the insurance company and the state would require armed guards. Incidentally, being unarmed, the thing we're most likely to do if a person decides tht he's willing to blow us up is 'get blown up'.

Is it bad that I have a map predrawn in case of suicide bombers and/or mass shooters?

It's so I don't have to stick around to direct them to the areas of the client's employees I like least.

Isn't that required by the fire code or some other such rule?

"You are here.  The Joos are there.  Follow the green line on the floor."

Also keeps the evacuation routes clear.

stay safe.
If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!
