Economic Trends
All,
I believe with the rizing unemployment and benefits running out we may all see much more of this business by people not normally prone to this behavior.
I'm torn by people in need vice those willing to go "too far" to get something of mine.
I carry within the law as my CCW permit allows; but . . . when I'm by myself I'm not too worried as my situational awareness is pretty good. But when my family is with me it's more to watch and direct. My kids are teenagers and always say I'm too worried - doesn't change what I do. My wife knows better and knows when I turn serious (she was around during my Dep. Sher. days).
Long story, short point - keep your situational awareness waaaay up; avoid places that you know or believe are bad choices; know your escape routes; teach your family how to react; have a plan b and a plan c.
This is going to get worse. Know when to get ugly.
"Your best defense is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence and de-escalation."
