A good list. My own:

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.

Wifey used to tease me when I made like Wild Bill Hickock and always sat with my back to the wall when out dining. Gotta show her your post.
