even the footnotes.
everybody should remind themselves of this stuff, especially the parts that show the reality of instinctual reaction in the presence of assailants and intruders. growing up where i did, this stuff is engrained in me, and i have my wife for everyday living proof that not everybody has the same mindset.
"shouldn't we keep the bullets and the gun stored in separate places?"
"are you fucking kidding me?"
it may be extreme, but i always assume anything out of the ordinary is a dangerous situation. i remember once where a female coworker and i were stopped by some guy in a mall parking lot that seemed a little drunk and was going on and on with us about a gallery he was walking to for a visit. after the first introductory sentences, i was like 'wtf, are we being set up / watched /etc'. i was watching over my shoulders, switching angles, just listening and responding to the guy in periphery, and had my right loaded. i'm positive i've gotten out of dozens of dangerous situations just by my paranoia and attention to detail.
