With the current riots in England being featured nightly on the news, flash mobs are quickly becoming a real safety concern. It is even becoming an issue here with attacks at the Wisconsin State Fair last week, among other criminal acts committed by large groups of people.

In my last blog about back-up guns, I received a couple of comments about how one gun is enough if you maintain it and make your shots count. One reader also said that you’ll probably never be faced with multiple attackers anyway. This made me realize that some don’t understand why a person would carry a second handgun.

Two guns are one, one gun is none. This saying has bounced around for years on gun forums as the reason to always carry a backup gun. Some self-defense advocates on the forums even take it further and claim that three guns are two.

There are lot things I do and don’t do because of my self-defense philosophy. I don’t wear earphones when exercising. I always look in the backseat of my car before entering. I always observe a store before walking in to make a purchase, and I’m always aware of my surroundings and am constantly planning for situations that can occur in the location where I’m at.

I’ve often wondered why the TV self-defense experts always rack the slide when performing a speed reload on a semi-auto handgun rather than releasing the slide via the slide stop. I always though it was to provide that extra eighth-of-an-inch of spring power to ensure the gun went fully into battery.

There is one sure fire way to always survive an attack on the streets—avoidance. If you can avoid a confrontation, you will survive a confrontation. While carrying a concealed handgun means you can probably go anywhere with confidence, it doesn’t mean you should.
