Fight, freeze or run?
Last week, I relayed the story of two heroes, Justin Schneiders and James Barnhart, who encountered violent confrontations and essentially won. Still, both men agree that even they were underprepared for their confrontations, and injury and delay could have been averted had they taken time to condition more tactically, defensively and psychologically.
Many of us practice target shooting but never really get to practice tactically, in a realistic likely setting where a confrontation might occur. So I decided to inventory my own preparedness, and that of my family.
Psychological Inventory of Mental Preparedness, or PIMP:
1) Write the five locations where you spend most of your time during the week, each in separate circles, spread apart on a sheet of paper. Add the approximate percentage of time spent daily in each location.
2) Write the five locations where you spend most of your time on the weekend, with an approximate percentage of time you spend in each location.
3) Next to each of your locations, write the names of the people who are most likely to be with you at those locations.
4) Next to each of your locations, name the clothing items you wear, down to your shoes and your holster or weapon, handbag, wallet and jewelry (a likely motive in a confrontation experience).
5) Use asterisks or stars to symbolize higher risk situations where a confrontation is more likely to occur.
