It’s bureaucratic language for “Stay where you are “.

Then you get out of the way. In other words move it or loose it.

Shelter in place is a term that means stay indoors, preferably in a room with no windows, for protection against possible gunfire.

And, what about if you just happen to be there, but you are not a resident? Does the mandate not apply if you aren’t a resident?

Seriously???? If you’re not a resident of that home and you’re just visiting….it means to stay where you are unless you want to get shot!! Use common sense people.

Its like a school lockdown. Except your on lockdown at where ever you are currently at until they clear the situation.

Shelter in place: seek immediate shelter in the place you are at.
It does not mean your home, etc it can mean your friend’s home, your vehicle, a local business whatever-get to shelter in that place immediately.

Go to your local gun shop ie Grundman’s or Wildwood saw shop and asked to be signed up to be trained in the use of a firearm. When you feel competent you can go out and buy a brand new .45 cal auto pistol with 230 gr. hollow point bullets. Then you can just sit in your house with your gun on your lap and wait. You are protected and safe

Hmm, it means that you should grab your camera and run outside and try to locate the source of commotion. If you find it you should try to get as much of the action recorded as possible. I suggest you provide a running commentary on the action and occasionally state that “this shit is going on youtube” or “oh my god, oh my god” or even “world star, whirl star”

Why, then, don’t they just say “Shelter in Home”?

Shelter in place during combat situations or threat situations means to stay inside, take cover, don’t be out in the open, don’t be a dumbass and walk into line of fire, don’t wave your arms saying lookit me lookit me I’m a big ass target

How confusing. First they say “Shelter in place!” Then they say “Come out with your hands on your heads!”

I live on Kelli Way and can hear the Swat Team telling Christian Lewis to come out of some house with his hands up. Not sure on the first name. Does anyone know exactly which house it is?

Would that be the the young guy who was out poaching deer, was approached by CDFW game warren, took shots at the warren, and ran?
