Carmen Miranda was vacuuming her car and talking on her cell phone when a man dubbed the Baseline Killer shot her in the head, shoved her body in the back seat and lodged her legs over her head with her pants pulled down.
The Phoenix woman was the last victim connected to a string of eight other killings in 2005 and 2006 in which victims were attacked while going about daily activities such as leaving work, waiting at a bus stop or washing a car.

Why is this a reason? I am all for CHL, but this lady talking on her phone not aware of her surroundings would not have benefited from a CHL or gun.
ReplyDeleteTrue, Self-defense starts with keeping out of situations where you will likely find yourself threatened. Situational awareness is quite literally the key to survival.
ReplyDeleteHowever, as a CHL you're taught to be aware of your surroundings. And at least in my case, having that block of iron on your hip reminds you to be constantly mindful of your environment.
