This certainly applies to the topic of self defense.  Knowing how to handle various situations is very important for your survival.  Whether you are acting as a civilian, law enforcement, or military; threatening situations can happen any time or place.  How you react and handle them is very important.  Of course this includes both your mental and physical reaction.

An interesting program I ran across is called the “Flinch Response.”  This program comes from Defiance Combat, and is an interesting take on how to react to situations.  Especially for us civilians that do not have regimented, formal training, it is good to open our eyes to the possibilities.  Defiance Combat does a lot of coaching, teaching, and certification for instructors of their system.

Check out the video on how to handle (and not handle) an attacker.  The video does a very good job of showing how quickly decisions need to be made so that the situation does not go bad and get you hurt or killed.  The video does a great job of giving a rough idea on how and when to go for your gun and how to handle your attacker’s weapon.

A big part of the book is the implementation of martial law.  This concept is very abstract to most of us modern Americans, but it basically means that normal civil laws are suspended in favor of military control in circumstances of civil emergencies or unrest.  One Second After demonstrates that survival of individuals and society are dependent upon a well armed population.

Massive shutdowns of society will have tragic effects on the population.  Our dependence on basic food, medicine and electricity is extremely high, and the loss of these systems would set the country back 150 years in time.

Education and knowledge are the best way to understand our world and be prepared for challenges to come.  This novel is a great way to begin or expand your understanding of local and national emergencies where the government may not be able to help its’ citizens.

Having guns and knowing how to use them can save your life in everyday situations, as well as national emergencies.  They can be used for providing food and defense, and we must be sure to make sure these rights are preserved.

I highly recommend this book.  It is an easy read, and moves along very well.

Being able to carry weapons in National Parks will allow for greater self defense against criminals and animals.  These huge swaths of land are so beautiful and pristine, yet are full of unwitting danger from humans and animals.  Many people are overwhelmed with the beauty of the parks, and their senses are overwhelmed.  Criminals know this.

National Parks are a great place for criminals to operate.  People are not usally local, are unaware of their surroundings, and missing persons are a regular occurance.  Tourists are typically full of money and many have their guard down as they just want to relax and spend time with family.  People can be killed and kidnapped and the criminals have lots of places to disappear to and hide.  These National Parks are huge and primitive.  The old rules of basic survival are very important.

Being able to defend yourself and your family should return to the top of the list in these dangerous areas.  Animals and criminals can be unexpected, and know the surroundings much better than you will.  Carrying a firearm at least evens the playing field between the good and the bad.
