Exactly so. Pack heat at all times, and be prepared for the jihadist.
Packing is certainly useful when one is attacked, but Situational Awareness is really much more than that. The police officers in Lakewood were all armed. I’m not saying that they were being complacent either. My understanding of that event was that Clemmons walked directly to the counter as though he were a customer and when approached by the counter person he drew, wheeled and opened fire. From the pictures I’ve seen of that animal, I would have been on red until he was over the horizon. I’m not very comfortable with the racial component of all this, but it’s undeniable anymore. I guess my real point is that we simply can’t go about our lives the way we used to. There are large segments of American society that have literally descended into barbarism. They are brutal, malevolent and like dogs who smell fear, are very much emboldened these days. We ignore them at our peril.
