This is an excellent article to read if you carry a gun. Even if you choose not to carry it would serve you well just in the interest of self preservation. There are a lot of elements that go into self defense, but probably the most important is your level of awareness.
Awareness of your surroundings, your personal readiness in terms of physical conditioning, firearms training and skill level, awareness of the gun you carry, etc. It is called “situational awareness” and it is often what will keep you out of trouble altogether, and the best fight is the one you never got into.
Never try to be the hero! You have no obligation to save anyone, but you are obligated to get home to your loved ones. You may find yourself in the position of having to step in, but in most cases your best plan of action is to be alert, make good mental notes and be the best witness you can be for the police. More importantly, don't put yourself in a position you are not ready to deal with b/c more than likely you will not make it out alive.
Please, take the time to read this article. It could be that one piece you need to help you stay alive in the middle of a fire storm you were never prepared for.
