While you may be alone when a deadly attack occurs, attacks can easily happen when you’re with other people, such as with your family.

Two punks learned the hard way that Florida has some pretty good conceal carry and self-defense laws when they tried to rob an Internet café and a 71-year-old customer sent them packing with a few shots from his legally carried handgun, which you can see in this video.

With the recent storms knocking out power and causing general disruption of services throughout the Northeast, it made me think about how few people are prepared for disasters of any kind. In northern Virginia, many were out of power for up to a week, losing refrigerated food and having to deal with record temperatures without the benefit of air conditioning. Some areas even had water problems and in at least one county, 911 went down.

I had a small incident the other day and, while there were no lasting repercussions, it kind of got my attention. Several young men followed me and I don’t think they were up to any good. The following was conducted from their vehicle but I was able to elude them. Since none of the group presented anything like a professional or businesslike appearance, I believe they were going to victimize me in some way—or try to. Everything came out OK, and I am very happy about that. The point to remember is that I did not have a gun.

There are times when you just can’t carry a gun. It might be because you’re in a place where it’s not legal, such as when flying or in a public building, but sometimes it’s just a matter of inconvenience.

The best way to ensure that you will hit what you’re aiming at is to use the sights that are included on every handgun built. It’s amazing how manufacturers are able to put those little indents and raised platforms on a gun in such a way that you would think they had been doing this for centuries and might have an idea of how to build guns. Oh, wait, they have and they do.

Have you ever thought how would you draw and fire from the ground? If not, you should. The first time you fire a gun while lying on your back should not be in a self-defense situation. Think about it. When you’re standing with your arms stretched out holding your handgun, you don’t have to worry about hitting any other part of your body. When you’re on the ground, who knows what might get in the way. And what if you’re lying on your gun and can’t reach it from that position?

So often, training involves standing before a target and putting rounds into center mass of that target. But, do you really think that a true self-defense situation will be like “High Noon,” and you’re going to be Gary Cooper facing down the bad guy in the middle of Main Street?

One of the easiest ways to be attacked when out and about is from behind. There are countless stories about blitz attacks coming from behind where the victim never sees the attacker’s face and is unable to identify the perpetrator.
