(Although, honestly, I might rework that to ‘save those worth saving’)

I have a similar photo on my office wall. Even the big boss likes and sees how each step pertains to about everything you can think of.
I’m not a cop, so here’s my version:
Rule 1: Somebody is coming to save you. It’s unlikely they’ll arrive in time.
Rule 2: Your responsibility is yourself and your family.
Rule 3: See Rule 2. Help others as time and opportunity allows.
Rule 4: Worry most about Rule 2, but where possible act in accordance with the Castle Doctrine.
Rule 5: Avoid trans fats and try to get enough sleep. You’re more likely to die of health complications than random violence.
“…I might rework that to ‘save those worth saving’…”
It’s a pretty short list….?
And some of us would say we don’t belong on that short list. Depending on the emergency, I’d probably volunteer to stay behind. I’m too old to bug out, but I might survive pretty well on my own at home. At least for a while & depending on circumstances. And I’d be a lot happier dying at home than uncomfortably or painfully on the run or in hiding.
