based on public shootings in us what places of public assembly should be avoided to improve personal safety

Improving personal safety involves a variety of awareness strategies, as mass public shootings have occurred in a wide array of locations that are part of daily life
. Data from sources like the FBI and the Secret Service indicate that attackers often have a connection to the specific location or victims, and incidents can occur almost anywhere people gather publicly.

Places that have been frequent sites of public shootings include:

• Commercial Areas: These include workplaces, retail establishments, restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. The FBI's 2023 report noted that commerce locations and open spaces were the most frequent categories for active shooter incidents.
• Educational Institutions: K-12 schools, colleges, and universities have been targets of numerous attacks.
• Open Spaces: Public areas such as streets, sidewalks, parks, and parking lots account for a significant percentage of incidents.
• Government Buildings/Civic Areas: Courthouses, military bases, and other government properties have also been targeted.
• Houses of Worship: Churches and other religious facilities have experienced mass shootings.
• Healthcare Facilities: Hospitals and various medical facilities have seen incidents as well.

ultimately we all have to be careful ourselves and get on with life.
I did find it interesting that even in certain states where the personal protection
carry percentage is much higher, that these mass shootings keep going.
We can't seem to stop this craziness in time.

ok, to avoid being yanked, sure is a good thing that driving around in a tractor is relatively very very safe.
we don't need bullet proof glass in our tractors
but you don't want to see an upset farmer in a big tractor with a hay spear...

Good morning, the low is 1 and the high going up to 10°F. Wind N 8 mph. 30% chance of flurries.

Tomorrow about noonish I will go and plow again. I pushed the east banks (driveway runs north and south) back the other day, tomorrow I will do the west banks.

mpham, do you have any wood ash? That as far as I am concerned works better than salt.

Drew, I remember quite well using manual spread sheets. We had one for our dispatch; truck number, trailer number, driver name, customer name, product, quantity, time wanted at destination, time arrived at destination, remarks. 9 columns and most of them got filled in by the dispatcher, then he would pass it on to the manager who would fill in the arrival time and remarks after he did the time.If I remember rightly the sheet itself was about 30" long and 24" wide. The dispatcher entered everything in pencil and the manager did it in pen.
Both the dispatcher and the manager would take their holidays in the winter or early spring. I would do their jobs while they were away. I couldn't make managerial decisions, but I could do the time and take messages for him.
In early spring the dispatcher who doubled as the bar tender at the Good Roads party/drunk/convention would be gone for a week and I would do his job.
We had a 800 number for the drivers to phone in on and
G-d help the man that gave that number to the customer.
I never gave it out, but I did coach the customer on how to get it after I was done on the call.

That is enough of old times.

Back to the present, have a safe day all

That report lists pretty much everywhere but our own backyards.

We can't be scared into hiding in our own caves. Be aware of you surroundings and walk with a purpose. We have to be able to enjoy life without constant fear.

Sorry. End rant.

I was just going to say that as long as you don’t go to work, school, church, concerts, restaurants or clubs you should be safe.

Reminds me of the story of the two old men, one says to the other that he is giving up smoking, drinking, women, rich food and fast cars, because he wants to live to be 100.
The other one replied “why?”

good morning, 24 and cold, lots of snow overnight

Cody on the morning walk did his zooming and was all excited about the snow. Used the cleats not taking any chances with falls.

News from Bondo beach Sidney about 11 killed in shooting. That man that disarmed one of the gun men and started to defend with his rile is amazing

Good morning TBN!!
44 this morning when I got up and the temps are already falling. 38 now. Going to be cold and windy today. My nemesis!

Worked on the .22 a little bit again and will reassemble to day and call it done.
Next up is finding the reason the Magdrill trips GFCI every time I turn it on. Ground leak is probable I guess. Only trips when I turn the magnet on as there are two separate switches. May make it a bit easier.
Nice Christmas party last night.
Me my wife and our hosts:

Usually a PJ theme Good times!

Time for a second cup
Everyone have a great and safe day!!
