[QUOTE="StLPro2A, post: 3622207, member: 48052"] Different jurisdictions vary, know your local laws. Have a GOOD defense lawyer's contact info in your possession. Make plans ahead of need. PREPARE. Head-on-a-swivel situational awareness and distance are your best friends. Always lock your car, take keys with you. Don't let unknown others close distance to your space. Study, understand body language. "Left of Bang" is a great book to learn to ID danger BEFORE the BANG, principles used by military (including Marine Corps Combat Hunter Program) and LEOs to anticipate threats. Always carry a gun....concealed. ....and be trained, practiced. Under threat/stress capabilities drop to at least your lowest training competency. Upon ID of closing threat, change your direction to maintain space, look them directly in the eye, give STOP hand signal, loudly shout, "STOP. STAY BACK. DO NOT APPROACH ME." Understand the Tueller 21-feet Rule of deadly force threat. Place hand on gun without exposing gun.....giving tacit non-brandishing message that you are armed, prepared to take action. Should perp continue to close distance, aggressively/loudly begin yelling to attract others' attention, "HELP. STOP. DO NOT ATTACK ME. CALL 911."
