By doing what our assailant least expects us to do, we may throw him completely off. ... what he usually least suspects is instant, violent counterattack, so the principle of aggressiveness is closely tied to threat of surprise.

We are somewhat amused by the hysteria manifest in the press at the suggestion by Gordon Liddy that if one is menaced by bad guys (particularly the ninja) one is wise to shoot for the head. That statement has got a whole bunch of journalists and commentators bleeding from the nose. One wonders why it should. Where else should you shoot a man if he is probably wearing an armored vest? If you decide to shoot you have made the big decision. Where you place your shot is merely a technical matter.

Your physical safety is up to you, as it really always has been.

Therefore, if you are attacked, retaliate instantly. Be sudden. Be quick. Speed is your salvation.

An unarmed man can only flee from evil, and evil is not overcome by fleeing from it.

Let us remind ourselves again that the Second Amendment of the US Constitution should be referred to as the Statute of Liberty.

Owning a handgun doesn't make you armed any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician.
