That is indeed a good read.

One thing I know from experience in some of the armpits of the world is that when the "offal hits the rotating blades" it can happen in a matter of seconds and when least expected. And there are some real sociopaths out there looking for victims. Situational awareness is something to be borne in mind and practiced at all times. As the writer says, "Watch your back."

Excellent read. A big difference between discussing the fine points of weapons and putting them to their intended use. A good wake up call for my preparedness.
