Situational awareness by George Mimmis

Situational awareness is knowing what is going on around us. It involves drawing a kind of mental map that helps us understand where we are, what surrounds us and what are the challenges or dangers that lie ahead. This ability allows us to see clearly what is happening and buy us time to develop an effective coping plan.

Killer knockouts in street and bar fights.

Ways to avoid a bar fight:

1. Stay aware: 

The most effective way to avoid a bar fight is by avoiding the possibility altogether. This requires situational awareness.

2. Keep your cool. 

Sometimes you cannot anticipate an aggressive environment from developing. If someone gets in your face, resist the temptation to push back in any way. Do not exchange insults or any physical aggression. Keep a safe distance from the aggressor and be ready to defend your self if attacks you. Never turn your back.

3. Inform security:

When all else fails, talk to security about the instigator. If there is not a security guard, find a bouncer or even the bartender. Bar staff do not want fights and will do what it takes to kick people like this out.

Police said a man entered Otto Miller Hall with a shotgun and opened fire shortly before 3:30 p.m. The gunman was busy reloading when a student, who was working as the building monitor, confronted and subdued the gunman using pepper spray. "Once on the ground, other students jumped on top of them, and they were able to pin the shooter to the ground until police arrived," said Seattle Police Capt. Chris Fowler.

You must clear and control the muzzle when doing a gun disarm. You must clear it off of yourself and  not direct it towards another innocent person. You must have control of that gun so they can’t pull it back or just randomly fire and hit other people. That means wrapping your hand and fingers securely around the slide. No fingers in front of the muzzle!
