The answer is simple: you don't get to decide where and when someone else will commit a crime. All you can do is respond. And make no mistake, you are the first responder. The police can't be everywhere, and it takes them minutes to respond when seconds count. You can sway the odds in your favor by avoiding areas of higher risk and improving your overall awareness, but the bottom line is that criminals decide where and when they will act. It's up to you, and you alone, to be prepared. If you have decided to prepare, then this book is for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimply buying and carrying a gun means virtually nothing.
