With Last nights tragic event in Orlando at a popular club where over 50 people were gunned down in what is being called the largest mass shooting in US History. The question on most peoples mind is, how can I protect myself and be safe in a Club? A club thats packed with over 500 people, smoked filled room, Lights and very loud sound.

Think about for a moment, the first sounds you hear would make you think that's part of the music or the ambiance of the club, those first few seconds are critical, not to mention that most folks in the club are slightly or over intoxicated.

How do you remain safe and get out of a situation like that? Over the years, I've been in a Lot clubs all over the country including Orlando, and trust me I've seen some crazy things happen, but nothing like what took place last night.

How can you stay safe, I have my mental list I always keep in mind when I'm out.

1. First thing know where the exit is

2. Identify possible hazards like locked doors and windows

3. How well can you move about and around in the club

4. Does the club have a fire sprinkler system

5. Is the Club about ground or in a Basement, it would be tough to get out in the event of a shooting or fire.

6. move fast don't think or hesitate

7. Ask to speak to a club owner or manager if you notice something isn't right

8. Is security the Boy Next door or City or county police

9. Is the club allowing under aged drinking and breaking other laws

10. Trust your instincts

Hope this ten hot topics keeps you safe when going out, these should help you to pay over all attention to what's going on in your local club.
