“Only your awareness can protect you from an ambush. There’s a reason in the military we call the area the enemy is going to walk into during an ambush the “kill zone” Fighting your way out of it is almost always not going to happen and the best defense has always been not to get in one in the first place.”

“It never made much sense to me to see guys buying guns and going to the range with the excuse that it was for self-defense when the same guy is 100 pounds overweight, smoking two packets of cigarettes a day and eating a diet of fried food, pizzas and beer. He’s going to die from a self-inflicted heart attack or stroke before he ever ends up needing his gun for self-defense”
