I usually have my head on a swivel when I’m out alone or with my wife and other family members. In a restaurant I’m always facing the entrance so I can see people entering and exiting the establishment. If it’s the first time in a place once I’m seated I go to the restroom to wash my hands and it gives me a chance to look around for other exits and ways out. My wife and family know my routine. They also get involved with situational awareness because the warn me of anything irregular in the establishment. When I’m walking in the mall with my wife I’m always looking around and if my wife is in a store I’m waiting outside standing with my back to a wall. I also watch a lot John Correa videos on active self defense, good source of training. The USCCA also has the proving ground which are scenarios which can happen in normal everyday life. Carry on brothers and sisters.
