Improve Your Situational Awareness and Avoid Muggers by Watching for Suspicious Individuals Carrying Concealed Handguns
One of the most important aspects of any self-defense system is situational awareness. By paying close attention to your surroundings, and knowing which warning signs to look for, you can see a potential attacker coming and prepare yourself for quick action. Without situational awareness (SA) you might end up oblivious to threats right in front of your nose, and be blindsided by a sudden attack. Even if you’re a trained martial artist or shooter with years of combat training, you’re automatically at a disadvantage when your attacker has the element of surprise.
Carrying a concealed weapon is an excellent tool for self-defense. However, concealed weapons are also sometimes carried by dangerous criminals, muggers, and thugs. So, in order to avoid being taken by surprise when a malicious individual draws a handgun, it’s helpful to be aware of anyone in your vicinity who might be carrying. Even if that individual ends up not being a threat, it’s wise to keep an eye out at all times.
