On this special edition of: Light ‘Em Up:
We focus the light of the truth on the slaughter in Uvalde, TX – the cold-blooded, calculated murder of 19 little children and 2 teachers.
We’ll highlight a specific Active Shooter Risk Mitigation Protocol, “FASTER”, with our expert special guest, Mr. Jim Irvine, and explore the highly divisive issue of the 2nd Amendment. Is the 2nd Amendment being used as an “alter” for which to sacrifice innocent people, like grandparents shopping for food at a supermarket in Buffalo, NY; people gathered in a church in Laguna Woods California; or children attending a public elementary school in Uvalde, TX?
The 2nd Amendment reads: A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. It’s only 1 sentence, consisting of only 27 words – nevertheless, its impact is outsized as to the issues, which divide and the debate focused around what these 27 words have spawned since being ratified in 1791.
Finally, we’ll briefly explore what the immediate future looks like for the Great State of Ohio. Is it headed towards The Wild, Wild, West as it will no longer require permits for carrying a concealed weapon? We explore the topic of the new Constitutional Carry Law in Ohio.
Taking the witness stand today is our trusted and respected friend Jim Irvine. Jim is a commercial airline pilot, currently flying the B-737. Jim and his wife Lisa live in the Greater Cleveland, Ohio area with their four children. Jim has volunteered his time for various organizations for over 20 years. He currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Second Amendment Foundation and Buckeye Firearms Foundation. As a co-director with the “FASTER Saves Lives” Program, Jim helps schools, churches and businesses prepare for active killer events.
In this explosive episode, Jim mentioned, "All of the training in the world doesn't do anybody any good if you don't have the proper response in using that training." From our Security and Risk Mitigation Consultancy at Rizzo's Protective Group, we know and always train to the concept that: "The best time to prepare for an emergency is before one occurs, not during nor after." This episode will help to prepare your mindset to mitigate your risk of being killed by an active killer.
"Time" determines how many people an active killer will kill. Unabated, they will kill more people.
The "FASTER Saves Lives" program enables staff to train with experts on mindset shooting and medical care. Jim and his colleagues have reached thousands of people with proven methods that have saved lives, all across the nation. Jim is also Chairman of the A1S4 Protection PAC. Jim’s work includes working with candidates to help them better understand the various firearms related interests and disciplines. He has worked extensively to elect good legislators and then work with them to enact better laws related to firearms, self-defense and school safety. By combining education and advocacy, Jim is able to work with a wide range of people and bring consensus to challenging issues.
