Violence is hard to predict, that is why you carry a gun -- at all times! Even inside the house.

That is so true, violence is hard to predict. I always carry my concealed carry weapon with me when I leave the house. On the other hand, I do not carry a weapon on me when I am home. I do have a weapon very close to me MOST of the time. I have one next to my recliner when in the living room and I have one next to me when I am sleeping. Carrying one on my person while at home seems to be a bit like overkill.
Yes, I believe there are random acts of violence. I also believe in premeditated violence. The one thing that the no nonsense site helped me with was a good portrayal of the different categories of violent groups of people, and the degree of danger they can pose. The Five Stages of Violent Crime section was responsible for me never being in condition white again.
My 2¢. I was raised in a violent setting, from my parents and grandparents to the kids in my neighborhood bullying me. We were poor & lived in the ghetto. I was never violent despite my upbringing but was regulary use to defending myself and I can tell for a fact violence is Not random! I dont care want any book,video or on looker thinks, ive had personal experience for more than 15 yrs! Body language is the key as well as threats,not insults or retorick. Being aware of not only your surroundings but the face is a dead give away! Dont look away, if they stair,you stair back. If they motion towards you, you reciprocate. Any sign, I mean ANY sign of weakness or fear and your a Mark! My parents & grandparents were brought up using violence to communicate and force their will upon eachother and others...nothing more. It can be that simple, no ryme or reason. For me, I can spot the Wolf in a crowd of 10, but I payed a price for that instinct. Also remember and most important, human nature is violent rite out the womb! Carnal survival, for the Wolf & the Sheep. No one is exempt, some have control, some dont! Being prepared is the only sensable way of possible survival. Needless to say ive had no contact with my family in over 20yrs, no arrest and Definetly NO violence in our home. Married 17 yrs, 4 children.
Caution: as far as we lil' victims go, it's all pretty much random!
