Ten Mistakes You Cannot Make When Confronted With A Violent Situation by Jim Grover, aka Kelly McCann
I just posted on my webpage that my first "Security" pick regarding book and video resources is the book Street Smarts, Firearms, & Personal Security: Jim Grover's Guide to Staying Alive and Avoiding Crime in the Real World by Jim Grover, aka Kelly McCann.
This is a great book of articles and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to know more about personal security, self-defense, and firearms. You can learn more about this book under the Personal Security & Self-Defense Products section of my website. As I took it out to add it to my "picks" I realized just how much good information is contained in these articles and decided to read it again. In one of the first articles "Enough is Enough: It's Time For Decent People to Take Back the Streets" he provides ten mistakes you cannot make when confronted with a violent situation:
1. Don't hope it goes away. Take the necessary action to end the situation.
2. Don't expect there to be even a glimmer of compassion in your attacker - there isn't.
3. Don't believe the playing field will be even when you are attacked. Conditions will be most advantageous to your attacker and you will be most vulnerable.
4. Don't apply your social restraint to their attack. The two are not compatible.
5. Don't believe you can compete normally with their level of violence. They are abnormal.
6. Don't be confrontational or challenging. The situation is bad enough; letting our anger urge you headlong into a situation won't help.
7. Don't give up, ever, if attacked.
8. Don't promulgate a lie to yourself or your loved ones. The realities of today are what they are, and they need to know hard-core facts about them.
9. Don't forget, YOU didn't start anything or ask for trouble.
10. Never forget number 7.
I highly respect Kelly McCann and recommend all of his materials. If you have not read this book, you should check it out. It contains a lot of good information.
Stay Safe,
Alain
