At a recent free safety class offered by some 2A support organizations, one speaker shared how we naturally tend to walk the path of least resistance - by habit.
He mentioned that criminals often wait behind corners, and he had suggested consider when walking past a corner of cover, deliberately create some extra space, more than an armās length, and watch for if someone is potentially around that corner, to at least give yourself extra seconds to react.

At some point, a determined attacker wouldnāt be denied. Theyāre not the sharpest tool in the shed.
Our situational awareness allows us to turn an ambush quickly into our favor. FAFO.

I was thinking the same thing. I am not the sharpest tool in the shed. I rely mostly on instincts to keep me safe (situational awareness). Well besides handgun training.

I take my corners very wide. I always assume someone will be opening the door from the other side. I use windows as mirrors to check my 6, when possible. A different route as often as is possible. The best fight is the one youāre not in.

As Iāve said this here in the past, Iām the predator. Head on a swivel is an understatement. My grandson told me not to, but I look for the threat around every blade of grass. I know the blind spots of every location I visit.
I know the exits, the location of every camera and fire extinguisher. Maybe itās too extreme, but the world has become extreme.
Most if not all locations are habit, groceries, doctors, gas and shipping services. I always park in the same location, I know every inch of the asphalt. But grandson said if I look for it, it would find me.
I havenāt taken the grandsonās advice because Iām the one that taught him EVERYTHING he knows. Heās probably right, but Iām older and set in my way. It wasnāt always like this, I used to be somewhat oblivious.
Now if someone is too close, Iām checking for distinguishing marks, tattoos, scars, color of clothing, what type of footwear, if they smell of alcohol, cleaning supplies, chlorine, saltwater, perfumes or cigarettes, I check the eyes for evil intent, body language, hand movements, gestures if they are not alone. You can keep your distance itās just a pain in the a$$!
I live by a code now, be polite, be professional but have a sure fire plan to kill everyone you meet!
The next time you go grocery shopping check the parking lot very carefully, tell me what you see. My wife and I play a game. How many misdemeanors can you find, drug deals, how many pets left in hot cars, how many babies left unattended, you would be real surprised.
Do you remember license plates of suspicious vehicles. I do. Just yesterday while pumping gas, black caddy sitting idle, blacked out windows, nobody in or out all the while I was pumping gas. Now mind you, Iām not just pumping gas Iām checking every phuckin nook and cranny around me for 25 to 100 yards. When I completed pumping I heard the engine of the caddy. I jumped in my vehicle as he, she or they tried to escape. Got on his tail quick enough to capture the plate number as he increased his speed once he realized I was on his tail. He immediately made a u-turn, I took the opposite direction to make him think my only intent was to get gas, then circled back to complete my mission. Groceries for the dinner. I think itās called tradecraft.
It pays to NEVER use your phone in public and ALWAYS be completely aware of whatās happening near and far. Could the occupant been on the phone, just listening to their favorite song? If it was the 80ās Iād say yes, itās 2025 every phuker out there is the enemy! Until they are not. You are always the prey until youāre not. I am not the prey, I am the predator, I consider myself the āghost in the darknessā. Every time I step out my front door, radar is up sonar is engaged and torpedoes are in the tubes flooded.
I felt much safer in NY in the 60ās and early 70ās than I do now.
Youāll find it was the deadliest time in NY back then. I had nothing to worry about. Today if I was 20 and still pumped I probably wouldnāt give a sh1t.
But now my wife and I are in our 70ās and that makes all the difference in the world! Eyesight, reflexes, bones and muscles just not the same.

Iām the same way and it aggravates My Wife to no end, but we always get home safe.
Most times when I am scanning around I can locate the individuals of dubious character. They look at me and I look at them. They know they have been identified and usually move on.
The James Bond ideology. I live by the same code.
