This brings up an interesting question. Suppose its 11:00 at night on a fairly empty city street and two people are approaching you.
What kind of people? A priest and a rabbi? Teenage white girls? Bums? Or young black males whose clothing, piercings, body language, and facial expressions scream, Im a violent scumbag?
What do you do? Tell them thats close enough when there are still three feet away?
Three? Try twelve.
Run?
If possible I might alter my course to open our CPA (closest point of approach). If they then alter their course to close our CPA, the gun is coming out.
Make an obvious show of putting your hand insdie your coat where a pistol may be?
Never that. Never threaten. Either do, or dont do.
Good response. Thanks.
