Steer into the skid
Tam on being prepared:
If you live in a place that allows you to legally carry a concealed weapon, do so. If you have a CCW permit, use it. Don’t say things like “Oh, I’m not going anyplace dangerous…” Places aren’t dangerous, people are; there’s no magic fence around anyplace you’re going that will keep the dangerous people out.
Read the whole thing. You’ll be glad you did.
