Lot of first time gun owners, might be you.

2019 Pandemic Exercise "Crimson Contagion" Highlighted Response Weaknesses

“I lied and said I was busy.
I was busy;
but not in a way most people understand.

I was busy taking deeper breaths.

I was busy calming a racing heart.
I was busy telling myself I am okay.

Sometimes, this is my busy -
and I will not apologize for it.”
