“Surprise. I was ready.”

I thought that this article was good and that others might benefit from it.

KEEPIN’ IT SIMPLE, KEEPIN’ IT REAL

Virtually anything you do to train or prepare for home and personal defense in the U.S. will most likely be more than your opposition has done.

Never underestimate your opponent.

Someone will always cheat. Make sure it’s you

I got the recommendation from another online community, passed it on to two other online communities (including NES).

I should go back and like it myself!

Never underestimate your opponent.

This is so true. What is also true is that very few career criminals or gang members have any experience with firearms beyond video games.
They have an almost full magazine, with mixed ammunition and have almost never practiced.
A guy that goes to the range once a month and practices drawing and presenting from a holster, firing double taps, has an enormous advantage.

And... only about 7% of Americans served in the military and of that group only about 15% actually saw combat.

That works out to about 2.7 million Americans that have seen combat. And most of those are probably Nam vets.
If I had to guess there are probably about a million vets that didn't serve in Nam with a CAR.
Well....Ain't we special?
