Questions to ask yourself after viewing this video. These are questions and concepts you MUST address NOW, before you are ever thrust into a similar situation. These are all covered in the video. Even though this gentleman made a mistake at the door, he had the right mindset to survive.

This post shows a vivid example of what I mentioned in Vol. IV: If I were in this situation I would not put my gun down (as the 911 operator advises) until the Police are at my residence. There are too many accounts of people who have been shot, getting back up and continuing the attack.This can occur for many reasons but please understand that it CAN and DOES happen.

Hey All:



I hope to be able to update this Blog on a daily or every other day schedule. This first link is unfortunately one time when the civilian did not have her gun. PLEASE listen to her testimony before forming your opinion.



I wish I could speak as eloquently as she does. I can not fathom the pain and regret she must feel. When asked "Why do you feel the need to carry a gun?" - SHE HAS A PRETTY GOOD RESPONSE.
