One of the first lessons that you hear when you start learning about situational awareness is to position yourself where you can have your back protected and best see approaching threats.

They learn how to grip the firearm, how to line up the sights, how to squeeze the trigger without moving those sights, and how to stand to allow for the most efficient control of the firearm. Unfortunately, this is where many people stop in […]
