Better to be aware&have a Mouse.22 than to be unaware&have a Glock 26.
It applies to a lot of things ie. most of my first aid training always says to begin by 'surveying the scene'.
Also this makes the arguement for concealed carry rather than open carry.
When one 'open carries' one is helping everybody else<including the BG> be
aware...while maybe putting one's own self too confidently asleep.
There's also the tactical arguement that carrying a semiauto without a round in the chamber - is ironically better...because it forces one to be more tactically aware of situations, makes it harder for the BG to take away the gun and immediatly use it on you, and makes one focus on thinking more deliberatly about pulling out the gun.<ironically the way folks used to have to tactically think when carrying single action revolvers.>
