excellent article by Karen Hunter on staying in control.

She does a great job of discussing the ins and outs of situational awareness. I've left most problems before they could become a threat to me or mine. Walking/running away if you need to is next. The weapon use is only when the other avoidance mechanisms fail.

Great stuff. Thanks for sharing.

The most important self defense tool is the six inches between your ears, and self defense starts well before you decide on your armament.

This is a good article but there's really no new information in it.

All I have to add isn't new information either, based on my life experiences I believe you can't teach someone how to be situationally aware. I also believe that you can't decide to be more situationally aware in a given situation. I believe SA is like a radar detector. It sits on your dash doing nothing until it picks up a signal, then it alerts

The only real way to learn (Again, IMO) is to be put in a situation where you need to be paying attention or you get your *** beat.

It’s like any other habit (skill?) in that it is perishable if not exercised.
