Have any of you received emails like this before?
Just another reason to leave california ( I would never higher these guys), when an insurance broker thinks it is a good idea to advertise how bad guns are. I decided to see homeland security's plan for active shooters.
Her is a snippet of homeland security's brochure, and the link for their sitehttps://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/...er_booklet.pdf

o The FBI reports that 45.6% of active shooter incidents occur at a commercial areas with and without pedestrian traffic.The failure of an employer to address the threat of an active shooter in the workplace can be an Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) violation under the General Duty Clause (Section 5(a)1). It requires employers to provide their employees a place of employment that is free from recognizable hazards that are causing or likely to cause death or serious harm. OSHA violations can lead to citations, fines, lawsuits and damage to institutional reputation.
Recent court rulings throughout the country have allowed negligence suits filed by victims of Active Shooters to proceed against employers for failing to provide defensive training to their employees. In other words, companies can no longer avoid their corporate responsibility to provide training on both how to spot potential active shooters and on how to react if confronted.
What can companies do? - Assess, prepare, practice, act
The Department of Homeland Security has developed a series of materials to assist businesses, government offices, and schools in preparing for and responding to an active shooter. These resources include a desk reference guide, a reference poster, and a pocket-size reference card.
