We discussed the responsibility of being the protector of our M and household.
4 PAX shared how they interpret that responsibility and the approaches were varied.
Living in Cary, NC reduces probability of violent crimes in general, but protection spans a lot territory such 5 star crash test protection, fire safety, etc.
YHC shared experience as a combat sports competitor, coach (intramural and private) including tactical training (armed and hand-to-hand)
We all agreed that situational awareness trumps all techniques and training. But also if you do train, your threat response will be more proportional to the situation. In other words, if you only know pew pew, you are prone to shoot when threatened, whereas if you are trained with other methods, you will have non-lethal options. YHC believes it’s good to have those skills, even a little.
Be a hard target – make damn sure to teach the M and 2.0s the same.
I have researched enough bad guys to know what they look for.
Not fear mongering – awareness aye
Very grateful to able to lead this morning and thank you to those that participated 🙏🏼
