Welcome to our Personal Safety Series. I am Drago P.I., Personal (protection) Instructor. This blog is going to focus on what Personal Safety is and briefly go over some of the topics and why they are important.
What is Personal Safety?
Much of Personal Safety begins with awareness of your surroundings, your actions, and your demeanor. Many could argue that self-esteem plays a large portion of this. Those with very low or very high self-esteem tend to be more aware of their surroundings, have an exit plan, and be aware of things that might present a hazard or avoid a conflict.
What are the different areas of situational awareness and personal safety?
We are going to dive deeper into situational awareness in its own posting. We will discuss vehicle safety whether it is your personal vehicle, public transportation, or in an Uber/Taxi. There will also be a focus on self-defense considerations to make and acquire those skills, whether or not you should seek a dog for personal protection and the liabilities inherent to that choice, open carry vs. concealed carry options, and finally focus on Texas Castle Laws along which other states have similar laws.
We look forward to any dialog that is created by these posts and possibly carry the discussion over to one of the groups we have on our website.
