Your mind-set is your primary weapon

Safety is something that happens between your ears, not something you hold in your hands.

Let your attacker worry about his life. Don't hold back. Strike no more after he is incapable of further action, but see that he is stopped.

If a felon attacks you and lives, he will reasonably conclude that he can do it again. By submitting to him, you not only imperil your own life, but you jeopardize the lives of others.

Know what is behind you, and pay particular attention to anything out of place.

We continue to be exasperated by the view, apparently gaining momentum in certain circles, that armed robbery is okay as long as nobody gets hurt! The proper solution to armed robbery is a dead robber, on the scene.

A smart man only believes half of what he hears, a wise man knows which half.
