This is from our friends at "buckeye firearms" its good advice and posted on the Ohio board as it came from your state NRA affilate .

"DON'T EVACUATE INTO A PARKING LOT! It's just too difficult to protect yourself around hundreds of uncleared cars. Almost any other evacuation location would be preferable to a parking lot. Look for an open area with no cars, areas of disturbed soil, or trash receptacles. Ideally there should be some hard cover available nearby."
Most of the places we go to in public are surrounded by parking lots. Rather that stay in the mall/theater/restaurant/whatever where the active shooters are, I'm getting the hell out of dodge.
The sea of vehicles provides multiple avenues to conceal one's escape.
OK, I read the article and now I understand the mentality behind it a bit better.
Yes, don't evacuate into the parking lot if, once you get there, you act like a good little sheep and stand around in groups for official government help.
Do evacuate to the parking lot BUT DO NOT STOP. Keep going past it to the nearest building or to the nearest natural concealment (greenway, wooded park, etc).
IF you can find your car quickly and IF you are not in a heavily congested urban area, it might be a good idea to get it in and get the hell out of dodge. Getting in your car and getting stuck in traffic near the scene of a terrorist attack is almost like signing your own death warrant.
Move into the country. Grow food. Avoid public buildings and big cities. ^-^

While I would prefer to live in the country, and plan on eventually doing so, that's not in the cards for now. And even after, I don't plan on avoiding populated places forever.
BTW, el señor Zapata esta 100% correcto
Don't look at me. Onliest "crowd" I like is on Appleseeds firing line. ^-^
