WHY?     Because anything can happen at any time. <\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:1em\">\t\t\t        He practices every two weeks.  WHY? Because due to the    stress and speed of a lethal encounter, you are only half as good in a real    gunfight as your are on your most recent training day, so train often and    train hard.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:1em\">\t\t\t        He lives his life in a state of awareness of his immediate    environment.  WHY? So he can see a fight coming BEFORE it is too late to    do something about it. <\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:1em\">\t\t\t        He understands to look at his opponent&#8217;s hands first.     WHY? Because what is in you opponent&#8217;s hands will tell you whether he    has the ability to hurt you or not. <\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:1em\">\t\t\t        He understands ACTION always beats reaction.  WHY?  Because    criminals expect passive victims when they start waving guns around and barking    orders.  Criminals do not expect resistance so when you immediately ACT    to defend yourself you have a .25 to 1.5 second advantage over your opponent where    he cannot possibly react fast enough to defeat your first shot (and subsequent shots    IF you hit with your first shot.)<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:1em\">\n<p>\t\t\t        He understands you only have one chance so you better take it    and make good on it.  WHY? Because if you don&#8217;t hit with your    first shot, the playing field is now level and your opponent gets his turn.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:1em\">\n<p>\t\t\t        He takes the actions of armed robbers seriously and personally.     WHY?  Because there is nothing more serious and more personal than being    the master of your own life and defending yourself against anyone who thinks    differently. <\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:1em\">\n<p>\t\t\t        He understands the Combat Mindset which states that you must be ready,    willing, and able to act immediately, ferociously, and with no regard for    your opponent&#8217;s well being. WHY? Because criminals with weapons will    show no regard for your well being and it is better to be the victor than the    victim.  It is better to live than to die.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:1em\">\n<p>\t\t\t        He understands the last thing you want to do is use a gun to    defend yourself&#8230; unless you absolutely had no choice.  WHY? Because    of the potential for post-shooting criminal and civil liability as well as    concerns of harassment and retaliation from the criminal community.     Still, it is better to be alive to face any potential liability or    retaliation than to die on your knees.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:1em\">\t\t\t        He understands it is    not fair that he happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time with    nobody there to protect him.  WHY? Because life is not fair.  That    is why he carries a gun. (AND YOU SHOULD TOO!)<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:1em\">\n<p>\t\t\t        He understands that he    was the only person who could make a positive difference in the immediate and    gravely dangerous situation that threatened several innocent people.     WHY? Because he was the only person with a gun. <\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:1em\">\t\t\t        He believes he    is just an average citizen defending himself.  WHY? Because it is the    right answer, but you and I, and anyone who has ever received any formal    training, know that this guy is no average citizen. He is cut from the cloth    of a noble warrior and had mentally and physically prepared himself&#8211; hoping    he never would have to use his skills&#8211;but ready, willing, and able to    defend himself (and others) against bad men with lethal intent.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I salute him.  He did everything right. He is a hero    because he placed himself in the line of danger to defend others and did so    successfully.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Front Sight has a Lifetime Legacy Membership waiting for Harry    J.
