i still have a few of these "Executive Letter Openers" for places i can't carry, the back side is concave and a piece of Scotch tape keeps it on the inside forearm no problem and it goes through metal detectors too

I read #5 and immediately think of the guitarist from the band that was playing in the Paris concert hall. When the shots rang out one of his mates rushes offstage and the drummer ducks behind his kit. But this guy just stands like a statue in the middle of the stage going “Uh, what’s going on?”
Good for you! The Lord just may have been talking to you.
Well, I suppose if half the people in the hallway are wearing pink — and are the same size as a gorilla — then a pink gorilla just might pass unnoticed.
Our son is a professional musician and so we were pretty sure that the crew member who died was the sound tech. He’s the guy who is out in the middle of the audience running the sound board and listening to make sure all the instruments and mikes are balanced. We love our sound guys. So sad.
I want them all gone. Send them back to their countries of origin and if they still give us a problem, turn them into a sea of glass.
As I sat down in church this morning I felt the butt of my Sig Sauer P320 9mm Compact gently thump against the back of the pew. At the same time I was also aware of the spare 17 round magazine (from the full size P320 that fits the compact, too) pressing on the small cargo pocket designed for such supplies on the front of my left thigh. I carefully looked around for strangers that represented a potential threat and seeing none, I began speaking to my Lord and Savior in earnest prayer.

Yes, it is certainly good for travel to larger cities, but given that I have two Muslim training camps within sixty miles of my home, I think I’ll stay vigilant. Look at the map of where the Syrian refugees are being located. That doesn’t include the ones who are already here.
The only one I have a problem with is “If you see something,say something”.
Say something to whom?
The way things are today if a police officer goes near someone without a good reason there would be outrage,riots,protests,violence and all of that good stuff.

1. Carry. The inconvenience fades to nothing if you ever need the weapon.
2. Situational awareness. There are no public places less than Threat Yellow.
3. Mental set. Make up your mind to resist.
4. Watch your six. People at restaurant tables in Paris with their backs to the window got shot in the back.
5. If you are accompanied by children or loved ones, you can't help them if you don't know where they are.
6. Use your resources. A flashlight or a hot cup of coffee to an attacker's eyes might just buy enough time to escape. Pepper spray can often go where firearms are prohibited. The chair you're sitting on may be a weapon.
7. If you have to run, be a gazelle. If you have to fight, be a lion. But whatever else, don't be a sheep.
There may be less of that outrage if we suffer an attack like happened in Paris. I think it will happen soon.
If I wasn’t half blind, I’d learn to shoot. But with my poor eyesight, I’d probably shoot the cat.
These are dangerous times. So for those who can, I agree. Learn to shoot and keep a loaded firearm with you at all times.

My amp head has a false front that is attached with velcro. I’ve always carried a .45 inside. I’ve never felt the need to retrieve it, even when there was a shooting outside in the parking lot. But I’ve always been more comfortable knowing it was there.
Excellent list BTD!
God Bless you, sir. Thank you for your service. We are all safer for brave men like you.
