You can't help it. Like if you go somewhere, People could just shoot you or the place. You have to beware of your surroundings! (i feel the same as you)

Chainmail armor probably works. Bit heavy but!

Actually, chainmail doesn't stop bullets. It will protect you from the hacker slasher types though.

L0stCh1ld: 10 months ago

Yeah. Chainmail only protects from slashing attacks. You can still get stabbed. Or shot. Also, chainmail is pretty light. I recommend kevlar if youre gonna wear armour.

You really can't. But you shouldn't go through life worrying about it either. Live each day as if it were your last, but hope that it isn't.

Your odds of being shot in one of these incidents is negligible. You can reduce the chance to about zero by staying home, but that won't grant you immortality. It won't even extend you life expectancy.

Look at the statistics. How many people have NOT been shot?
And forget chainmail...it wasn't even any use against decent arrows!

Barricade yourself in a bullet-poof house. That is the only way. Every single time you leave your house there is a chance you will die. It's always been like that. You just have to trust the society around you to not kill you, which I suppose is getting harder to do these days, but that's a gamble we take every day.

But that bulletproof house might get hit by a runaway JDAM ... better make it an underground bunker ... oh, but what it it's a bunkerbuster JDAM???

No place to run and hide. No use living in a bunker. Try to live a normal life, talk to someone about your feelings on this topic. Getting a gun is not going to fix the issue. There is no place people haven't been shot if you can get shot in school, church, or the local movie you can get shot anywhere. Just enjoy your days, one at a time!

Carrying a gun could mean the difference between 10 people dead, and 0 people dead. Youre right that it wont fix the issue, but it will help in the future.

Very few people have been shot in terms of the number of people in the US. If you're worried, skip big parties that could have criminal copycat fanatics and avoid college campuses, but seriously, you don't need to worry. Be there for the people who need you.

The main defenses against incidents like this are situational awareness, an escape plan, and adequate preparation, to include either self-defense or similar personal protective strategies. For some, concealed carry and protection using ballistic armor are possibilities; for the average person, this is impractical.
