Your gun doesn't buy you anything if you get knocked out by a surprise blow to the head.

Observe is the first part of the OODA loop. Only dumb luck will let you win a fight without awareness.

I wanted to share what happened to me this past week. Friday while coming home from Laredo I stopped at a rest area to relieve myself. While parking I noticed only 2 cars in the parking lot. 1 a maintenance the other had 2 tweekers in it. while walking inside I see in the corner of my eyes 2 tweeker sitting on the eating area. I take care of business and as I am coming out and lit a cigarette and figured I would take advantage of not driving and answer a few emails. Being on the safe side I put my body in the position where I could watch all for of those people. Suddenly on my right I here someone approaching. He quickly asked for a smoke. With a firm voice and head up. I tell him to keep his distance. This is when he started to get a little aggressive and took one step towards me. Thats when I told him again. I said keep your distance and walk away. Quick scan of the area number 4 tweeker was missing. So the smoke hit the ground got in car and left. While driving off I see number 4 coming out of the woods from behind about 15 yards from where I was parked. I am not saying I was getting set up but I will rather be safe then sorry.
Good job! If it feels wrong it probably is wrong.
