A chilling, but timely reminder for those of us who may find ourselves confronting poachers, or thieves, or worse. You are who will determine if you live or die. Speaking calmly, and not in a belligerent manner that causes a mentally unstable person to go ballistic, will go far. Avoiding a face to face confrontation is the best, if possible. But, if you find yourself in a potentially deadly situation, you rely upon your prior training and self-preservation mindset.

As I once heard Grandad say, "It's better to be judged by 12 than be carried by 6."

Thanks, Chuck. I didn't remember that incident.

Best, SRH

May God bless America and those who defend her.
