## Resource

On this episode of The Federalist Radio Hour , John Menna, a longtime safety engineering and regulatory affairs leader and founder of Principled Safety LLC, joins Federalist Elections Correspondent Matt Kittle to flip the school shooting safety conversation on its head and share practical tips on how to best equip parents, teachers, and students with the tools they need to prevent, not simply minimize, the harms wrought by armed suspects. You can find Menna's book, Before the Next Tragedy: Preventing Harm in School Shooting Scenarios, here .
