Not a bad idea at any time.
If you ever see a copy of this old book:
-Principles of Personal Defense...Jeff Cooper's classic--
Pick it up.
Vest pocket summary? Emulate your cat- very little surprises him...
Thanks, Backhoe..........I'll look for the book.
"Emulate your cat"..........I would love to. Lie in the sunbeam, roll on my back for the tummy rubs, hand fed treats, no work............. just be.
Sounds pretty good.
Thank you backhoe.
