Dear Gun Carriers

145. Answering some of your baloney.

The reality is that if someone is set on robbing you, they will, even if you're armed. It isn't terribly difficult to get the drop on someone by having their gun pointed at you ready to shoot before you can get to yours. Or having a second person behind you who plugs you before you can shoot the guy in front.

The reality is that an attacker can't materialize out of thin air. He can't walk around with his gun out and in his hand. He has to isolate and approach you before he can deploy his weapon. In doing that he will telegraph his intention. You just have to be observant of your surroundings and know what to look for. There are lots of classes and videos on how to spot thugs and avoid them.

Yes, many criminals will try to box a victim in. That is why situational awareness is so important.

A gun isn't a magical talisman, it is a tool. You have to know how to use it, or it is next to useless. With applied knowledge it is a powerful defensive tool.
