2. Man robbed of openly carried handgun - lessons learned
*******************************************************
There is no substitute for being alert, regardless of the time of
day. A gun, or any other means of self-defense, can best save your
life if you are NOT caught unaware. There might be more to the
story, but the 21 year old below seems to have been surprised by two
individuals who came from behind him. At 4 AM, he might have thought
he was safe.
Not so. Luckily he got away with his life.
Remember, whenever you carry your firearm openly, YOU MUST BE ALERT
TO ANYONE OR ANYTHING NEAR YOU. Be alert and be safe -- your mind is
the weapon, your gun is just a tool. Don't be caught napping!
