Women and Children Safety

Wednesday evening Senior made me sit down and watch an episode of one of his gun shows, it was about women and children safety. 9 out of 10 times I am out shopping, I usually have at least one or both kids with me. And they always get me sidetracked with one thing or the other.
  I get looks and comments all the time in stores, especially in regards to our youngest. He is very outspoken, and doesn’t meet a stranger. We have had our hands full with teaching him about “Stranger dangers”
  I will tell you all right now; I am a real B---- when people approach my children. Once, some elderly lady saw shoes untied on my oldest and without asking me she took it upon herself to tie them, and I let her have it, I am sorry, but no body touches one of my kids.  

So in this episode I watched, there was a mother and son being followed home by 2 home invaders, in the first scenario she was clueless and her husband got shot and killed. Second scenario she hurried in the house, told her husband she was being followed and husband shot both intruders dead. The third and final scenario had her being aware of being followed, calling her husband and keeping him on the phone until she led the strangers to the police station and to safety.

Since watching the show, I have started making it a habit to be more aware of who is around me, especially while getting in the vehicle, which I believe is when I am at my most vulnerable. I have taken notice of people in line with me at stores, and getting mental pictures of them in my head. It is my hope that I can hone this mental skill now so that if the time ever arises that I need to give the police a description that I will be sharp with details. However, I know that all this is good and a great exercise… but as a concealed weapons carrier with 2 small children, I will defend my family first.
