the thing you dont know may kill you

I am asked sometimes why anyone would need to learn how to protect themselves or use a weapon. I usually counter with “why do you think you don’t?” Typically people answer that they live in a nice neighborhood and nothing has happened so far. Seems like a big gamble to me. These folks live in a bubble of denial which is a mental defense-mechanism. It is common, but in no way serves as actual protection; Just the opposite.  I heard this quote today and thought it was very relevant:

 “There are things that you think you’ll never need to know; that you may only need to know one time in your life. But that could save your life because you had that knowledge.”

What does it hurt to learn new things, to change a perspective, to develop and grow?

Insight to the Arvada hostage situation

Just goes to show that sometimes people cannot be reasoned with. This was a career criminal who was dedicated to violence and only violence subdued him. Great job to Arvada PD and the sniper who took the shot.

Be Great

Be Great

“Greatness is made up of individual moments. Moments where you made a decision: A decision to get back up; to push through or over an obstacle; to have honor; to speak the truth; to fight; to have discipline. Greatness is a culmination of all the small moments when you did the right thing.”
