Have enjoyed the various online training resources and tips.
Developed the following to summarize the philosophy that links many of the resources/tips.
CALM: Carry, Aware, Legal, Mature Carry, gun elsewhere does no good Aware, be aware & alert wherever you are Legal, know & follow the rules Mature, set the example, no buffoonery, intelligent unemotional decisions
Provided to help others organize these ideas into a useful, simple, easily remembered idea:
Funny you should mention Cheers. Reminds me of Coach. He would make a song to remember capitals of countries. Welcome to the community. Good to have ya.

Observe - Situational Awareness and know your surroundings.
Recognize - See escape routes and react to threats.
Cover and concealment - Get to and maintain a good cover and concealment whether or not you are
retreating or facing a threat.
Access the situation - Is the threat really over? Are you safe? Are you ready for what comes next?
