Two things pop out at me. Number one, this story emphasizes why you should always train with the Combative Mentality. The key word in gun fight is not gun, it’s fight. Sharpen your empty hand skills and build upon that. Empty Hand/Stick/Knife/Gun. Secondly, ALWAYS be armed! (Especially when you are in an area with an abundance of natural predators, either the four-legged kind like Mountain Lions or Bears or your garden variety two-legged thug.) The fact that a juvenile Mountain Lion attacked him and not a Full Grown one is the main reason we are not hearing about either the death or hospitalization of the jogger for life threatening injuries!
