Guns for self defense – should you carry one? Part 5
By Liza Cooper | November 19, 2009
You can also plan in advance what to do after the encounter is over. You ought to practice turning you head to look around. This overcomes the inevitable tunnel vision that might be preventing you from seeing a second assailant, or someone who could help you. And you ought to plan to get to the nearest phone to call the police.
Just thinking about these plans isn’t enough. Going through the actual physical motions every time you “practice”, right down to picking up the phone, will help to embed these actions in your subconscious repertoire just as concretely as the actions involved in drawing your firearm, and will make it easier for you to carry them out if you ever need to.
Remember, you’ll be running “on automatic”, so you’d better be programmed to do the right thing.
