Realize that a 20lb suicide bomb vest loaded with shrapnel is dangerous within 400 meters. That\u2019s a long distance! <strong>Recent research has determined that 15 meters (about 50 feet) is the distance that means the difference between life and death in most suicide bombing incidents.<\/strong> If you are within 15 meters of the bomber when he detonates, you will likely die. If you are beyond 15 meters, you will likely live, but may be seriously injured. Ultimately, whether you live or die depends on the terrain, the type of bomb and shrapnel and how far away from the bomb you are. The farther away you can get, the better off you will be. Ideally, distance combined with some type of cover that will stop shrapnel and projectiles is best. \u201c<\/em><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>So terrorists today like to use a combination of guns and explosives.<\/h2>\n<h2>How can you be more prepared?<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align:center;\">If You Are Going To Fight Back, You Need To \u201cShoot Them In The Face\u201d<\/h2>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17602\" src=\"https:\/\/hcsblogdotorg.files.wordpress.com\/2016\/07\/ocular-cavity.jpg\" alt=\"ocular-cavity\" width=\"300\" height=\"295\" \/><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Read the Remainder at <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/preparedgunowners.com\/2016\/07\/07\/start-practicing-more-head-shots-because-terrorists-love-bombs\/\">Prepared Gun Owners<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are reading this, then you are probably the type of person who would be willing to fight back against a terrorist attack using your guns.
