I'm really beginning to wonder about his judgement. Never once mentioned training or being prepared to make necesary shots. Only "men" "balls" and blindly running into gunfire.
I hope he keeps it together long enough for you guys to get your class in...
He makes some great points.The only problem I have with what he's saying is that he keeps talking about "having a pair of balls" to do anything.
Im sure there are many brave women (both cops and civilians) who would do anything to protect the kids in those situation.
You dont need to literally have "a pair" to act as a brave hero.

I hate to say it, I agree with him. I liked this video. I like the message. Not delivered in the most thoughtful or elegant way, but I don't care one bit. I stand with Yeager this time.
Half will say he's too angry, is unstable, and off his meds. The other half will applaud his righteous indignation. Me, I just want to discuss the actual content of the video and the material that was presented.
I've said this here before, but with such active shooter scenarios I'm really torn. Part of me wants to be that guy that is ready, willing, and able to save innocent lives. But there's another part of me that's a Father and Husband that doesn't want to risk seeing my kids fatherless and my wife a widow.
But either way I do know that I will train such that the option is MINE, and that I'm not relegated to one or the other because I wasn't prepared.
I think it's entirely appropriate for one to place a priority on the survivability of their own family. They won't have the choice to be able to make that happen quickly and safely when in these situations. If it is feasible, then you're likely to be able to get them to a safe position fairly quickly. Personally, at that point it's appropriate to re-evaluate the situation and engage if appropriate (ie LEO are not on site yet). Of course, if reaching safety is not feasible for even your family engage to the best of your training but in a manner which attempts to protect them and not draw fire to them (or anyone but yourself if possible).Half will say he's too angry, is unstable, and off his meds.

You could be in a part of a building with no exit where you are the only person standing between the killer and group of people (kids or defenseless adults).
In that case I think it would be much easier to do something as you would be defending your own life as well and you wouldn't be running towards the threat.
