Snow day so I'm knocking out a couple of mandatory work trainings for "hours". The training this morning is a hostile intruder/active shooter training. Nothing like a corporate video telling me to run/hide/fight.

But seriously - is this just an American thing?

@chmod777 now I'm curious as well. Do companies in other countries have similar training?

Would they have a need for such?

@chmod777 European here: Never heard of such training.
@Ichinin It's pretty crazy to think about that I, as an American, have to take an annual training about defending against an active shooter. Part of the training told us to find objects to use as weapons or make improvised weapons 
@chmod777 Yeah i know, we had like 1 shooting here maybe 2 years ago. I can't remember, but when it happens here it's big news. Whenever we hear about a shooting in the Us we're like "well, it happens".
@Ichinin unfortunately, it's so commonplace here that folks just seem to tune it out. I'm guilty of that myself 😞
@chmod777 Never heard of this in Australia.
