The defensive incident that never happened and what I learned from it

[John not_Wick]

I won’t go into details but I found myself in a situation where something could have gone very wrong. I recognized the warning signs early, created distance and nothing happened. There was no confrontation and no need to draw. That experience reinforced that awareness and decision making matter more than anything else.

Yeah, that’s the win most people don’t even realize they just got.

Best outcome is always the one where skill means you never have to use it.

 Pretty much the same thing happened to me last year. I saw a situation starting to brew, so I just crossed the street and nothing ended up happening. The best use of a defensive gun, really is the one no one ever even hears about.

The best possible outcome in a defensive situation is the one that nobody ever has to hear about. Being aware and keeping your distance beats how fast you can draw a weapon every single time.

Prevention is always the real win, everything else is just contingency planning
