Hickok45 looks so cool with that backdrop I thought it was green screen at first.
âHe is so close⊠backing up against somebody thatâs already mid-draw doesnât really do much for you.â ![]()

I imagine martial arts instructor Vince Waterhouse would agree.
Itâs most important to have the training to respond to the threat on hand.
There was no announcement of the attack, you simply have to respond.
My response is not likely to be gentle. Iâm already engaged and reacting.
Where you at in the moment?
âTrained reflex and confidence under chaosâ - Vince Waterhouse
This happened to me tonight:
Took R to the AMTRAC Station. Walked with her to get her inside of the terminal, walked back to the Barbie Jeep to get her a water, so far so good. Itâs dark down there, a lot of stuff like monuments and covered benches, very little lighting.
This is a Google Maps of the parking lot I was parked in, the AMTRAC Station is the small white building way out there.
I was parked about where the Grey Station wagon is. I walked up, got the water and headed back to the station, 150 yds+/-. As I got near the first planter, from out of no where, there was a guy dressed in pure black behind me. I was Condition Red the entire time, looking listening, watching for motion. This guy was hiding. Plain and simple. As he came up behind me, 75 ft or so, I turned and faced off with him. Nothing was said, he immediately turned and exited stage left. THEN, after R was walking towards the train we hear yelling, itâs the man in black and another crack head arguing about a place to camp. R getâs on the train and I head back to the Barbie Jeep but this time Iâm Condition RED+. Didnât see the man in black again but it showed me one thing real obvious, if they want to, they can hide and they can get up on youâŠ
I will give him
Trained reflex
However, having been in unpredictable situations,âŠ. There is no such thing as âconfidence under chaosâ
That would be called luck.
Iâve been luckyâŠ.
Iâm not gonna stake my life on that.
My take on this is, if I didnât have confidence, I already lost.
Good situational awareness on your part. You were prey turned predator.
Thatâs different!
You were aware, thus the chaos is null, and your confidence is justified.
Every situation is different, liquid, and ever changing.
If youâre not aware, youâve already lost.
Catholic Bishops and the Pope should push and join in on banning SHARIAH Law across the world and in AMERICA instead if they value peoples lives!
