[QUOTE="wawazat, post: 3619364, member: 35603"] That is definitely worded better. I think it is something that most of us think about when we are out and about amongst the general public. I rely very heavily on situational awareness which gets dialed up a little bit more when my family is with me. My ears are open and eyes are sweeping. I think the same judgement we use at a gun range applies if we are in a scenario where someone carrying a firearm feels the need to draw it. My first thought is to quickly assess the person. Are they comfortable and confident with the way they draw and hold their weapon? Where is their trigger finger? Where is the firearm pointed? Where is their attention focused? I use a much lighter version assessing people that come into and leave my immediate area. Quickly and casually assessing body language, tone, and what is holding their attention if anything. I typically rely on keeping a loose eye on the demeanor of the people in my vicinity to help alert me if something is off in their vicinity. We are a lot like herd animals and there are a lot of cues a person gives off as they adapt to changes in their environment. The cow that sees the coyote isn't always the first one to move out of danger's way. [/QUOTE]
