The Five Stages of Violent Crime.
I posted this link in support of my essay here, although the thread has now gone so far off track I doubt it can ever get back to the topic again. Anyway, this is good fuel for our decision to carry openly instead of concealed, as well as having a plethora of excellent information on how and why a criminal targets a victim.
Here’s a quote from the beginning of the article:
This presents a good argument for the question, “Why are you carrying a gun?” I am carrying a gun for personal safety, not necessarily ‘self defense’.

Here’s a quote from the beginning of the article:
There is a big difference between self-defense
and personal safety. Self defense is predicated
on the fact that you are in a very bad place
to begin with. Things have already gone to
hell in a hand basket. As such, self defenses
is making sure the situation doesn't
get any worse -- it is damage control,
pure and simple. However, no damage control
is EVER as good as preventing the problem
in the first place. That's personal safety...
