What a difference being armed makes. After dozens of incidents of people getting a sucker punch in the knockout game, someone finally fights back.
This guy however, got attacked by a thug with a tazer. The thug wasn’t expecting his victim to have a gun, which is why he got shot twice and lived to end up in prison.
Times like these one has to be aware of one’s sorroundings. I like the advice Gun Safety Blog gave:
- Avoid task fixation.
- Minimize texting and walking
- “Check your 6″ when passing a rowdy group.
- Know your rules of engagement.
- Research and get yourself up to speed on local self-defense laws
- Keep a less than lethal means of defense with you as well.

- Gas or TASER are good options to have that each have their own advantages and disadvantages.

- Get up to speed on your unarmed combatives
- Jim Grover’s Combatives Series is the best way to get started
- This ideally means you create pain to create space to escape.

Thugs beware! Some of us are packing.
