People are thick....<br /><br />Anyhow, being "aware" and cautious applies not just to carrying money, but how you behave at work (doing stupid things that can get you fired), how you drive (doing stupid things that can get you or others maimed or killed) and so forth.<br /><br />People need to tune in to THIS world. There are too many distractions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-25692901619375506422009-06-30T14:31:16.440-07:002009-06-30T14:31:16.440-07:00I live in Costa Rica part of the year. This weeke...I live in Costa Rica part of the year. This weekend I finished my 2nd seminar in AMOK!, a knife fighting discipline. It is not that I plan to become a knife fighter. I want to know how to defend against it and also how to get me blade into play. My friends in Costa Rica think I'm paranoid. I'm the only one of them who has not been robbed or mugged. <br />Ferfal, I have a question. CR is an NPE for me as a tourist. As such I carry only a Glock 19, no holster...a "clip-on') with just that magazine (loaded with DPX) so I can toss the gun if I need to do it. I prefer the 9mm and a few additional rounds to the 357 SIG. What made you decide on the 357?<br /><br />Take CareAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-9951617284441746932009-06-30T11:41:55.309-07:002009-06-30T11:41:55.309-07:00Sorry to hear about your inlaw.

I was one for way too long, but after the economy collapsed here in the states and I lost my job I have become more "paranoid" I have a new job starting middle july and plan on making some survival preps once I can afford to. It's not paranoia if they are really out to get you, tell your inlaw that ;) Thanks so much for your insight I have had my eyes opened, once I get going with work again I will be purchasing your bookDr Woodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02791600488462907199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-11345866545331684042009-06-30T11:15:22.058-07:002009-06-30T11:15:22.058-07:00I am sorry for her, Ferfal.

A physical attack can bother some people mentally for a long time. <br /><br />Even if she does not want to fight, it should be helpful for her to study and learn self-defense methods that rely on being alert, planning in advance, and avoiding dangerous (read uncontrolled) situations. <br /><br />Moving cash to/from a business is a dangerous operation. In the USA, even those states which discourage concealed carry of firearms by private citizens make an exception for the small business owners who have to make such transfers. (Many businesses used armored car pickups by armed guards to handle this job.)Don Williamsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-74187452019196031482009-06-30T09:41:53.748-07:002009-06-30T09:41:53.748-07:00Sorry to hear that, Ferfal.
