Carrying a pistol
I get a lot of questions about self-defense, carrying a pistol, bear spray, and more. What I try to explain to people is that guns, spray, and bats are only tools. The real weapon is the person. Self-defense is a state of mind. It is confidence in oneself. It is knowing who you are, what you can do, and having the will to do it. When you accept this principle you look less like a victim. You present yourself as someone not to be trifled with. Most people who harm others are cowards and look for easy targets. Items don’t protect you. YOU protect yourself and you are the most dangerous weapon you have
