A lesson on Situational Awareness.

[LightRoasted]

If I may ...

Though this did not happen locally, everyone should always practice Situational Awareness. Know your surroundings, pickup on suspicious behaviors. If you own a business, you do not need a Concealed Carry Permit to have a firearm on your business premises, and may also allow your, (best to get them trained, better yet if a vet), employees to have one as well.

What are the 3 stages of situational awareness?

• Information gathering – know the typical sources of information available.
• Understanding information – be able to interpret the information gathered.
• Anticipation – be able to anticipate how an incident will develop and change.

This salesman felt something was off and acted accordingly.



And the story behind the video.

Armed Defense by a Used Car Salesman

This armed robber tried to rob a car salesman in the middle of the day. The defender was ready. This is what we can learn.

Great post but I would add that if you are going to be armed and/or arm your employees make sure they have firearms safety training and know the law. Sadly, the perp you or they may shoot has more rights in court than you do.

This guy has a great channel about self protection. He gives lessons on each encounter.

One thing every personal protection instructor I've had said; "Every bullet discharged in a defense situation has a lawyer attached to it."

That's why I said, "(best to get them trained, better yet if a vet)".

I completely missed that. Sorry.

Situational awareness is always important. A lot of people walk around clueless about what or who is around them because they are staring at a cell phone or have thingees in their ears.

I follow Col. Cooper's advice, always have my head on a swivel to see what the conditions are around me.
