I'm still tryin to decide what pic I want to use as an avatar for mine.
My choice was pretty easy: everything I need to know about personal defense I learn from my in-house personal defense trainer.
Always impeccably groomed in his Tuxedo, always polite, always professional, always in condition yellow, always armed, always capable of brandishing if necessary, always engaged in some tactical training exercise with his littermate brother or cleaning his weapons, and always prepared to kill everyone he meets- he has both the will and capability to run up the front of a 350 lb six foot six inch linebacker; perch securely on the linebacker's head and claw out the eyes, nose and mouth of said linebacker without hesitation or remorse.
The things that feline and his predeccessor have taught me about prevailing against overwhelming odds are almost too numerous to catalog.
He is pictured here ready to rock n' roll next to a 640 S&W Centennial Stainless .357
I am a lucky fellow.
