This episode is about thinking.  In other words, thinking about the risks you take when carrying a gun.  Thinking about the situations you might be in.  Planning ahead.  We don’t discuss hardware or training much, but rather we discuss situational awareness.  I talked with Jon Payne about this subject.

RECORDED BEFORE THE PARIS TERRORIST ATTACKS.  There have been a lot of school and gun free zone violence in the past decade or so.  Why?  One theory is that it’s similar to a riot breaking out, in slow motion.  This week, I reference an email from a listener and an article on thresholds of violence and what that means to us as gun carriers.  Please remember to participate in our gun and holster giveaway contest right now, ending on 12-24-15.

Are you outgunned? Do you know your adversary? Many of us, including me take the bad guy for granted. We tend to think they are uneducated knuckleheads who can’t shoot. Think again.

OK, we believe in carrying guns because it’s our American right and also because it will keep us and our families safer. Now, think of this, you’re attacked on the street when it’s dark or low light. Or your home is invaded and it’s dark inside your home. Have you used your gun in darkness? The Dark of The Night is much different. Listen to this episode to learn how and what you can do about it. Ben Branam from the Modern Self Protection podcast is my guest.
