This was an interesting read. Lots of helpful hints and changed my perspective. A few highlights:
- The hit rate for a handgun shooter is really low (4/100), so run from a shooter if you can. - If you have to fight, fight dirty and with anything around you. - Live with situational awareness, know what's around you. - Keep a flash light on you (and other stuff).
