The price of freedom is the willingness to do sudden battle anywhere, any time and with utter recklessness. -R.A. Heinlein

Dont be a victim

Saw this at Breda's: http://thebredafallacy.blogspot.com/2009/09/self-defense-condensed-version.html

Alright, listen. If someone is trying to take something that you can't give back, you fight like a cornered cat. A cat is nice and cuddly until you threaten it, then it becomes a mass of claws and teeth that has only one thing on its mind: to get away and to destroy anything keeping it from that goal.

When you find your self in a situation where you have to fight, your attack should be:

Immediate - Don't hesitate. Hesitation lets the enemy prepare.

Direct - You make sure the attacker knows he's in trouble, you barrel right into him fingers gauging at the eyes, knees striking the groin, elbows smashing into the jaw, feet kicking at the knees, whatever will make them go down and stay down.

Explosive - You must fight confidently and quickly, the more you explode, the faster you take away their feeling of being in control, and the more you gain control. Yell at the top of your lungs, this draws attention, fills your lungs with air, and gets your blood flowing, and your adrenalin pumping. It causes the attacker to be scared, lose control, not be able to concentrate, and generally lose the will to fight.

It never hurts to mark them for the police, claw marks on the face, broken limbs/joints, and screw drivers in necks tends to do this nicely.

Where I live, it is nearly impossible to get a license to carry a concealed weapon, and we are not allowed to open carry. If you can get one however, practice drawing quickly and efficiently, and shoot as often as possible. If you can, do some training with moving targets.

I have a lot more to offer, and I will in future posts, but thats all I have time for, for now.
