The Reason for a Personal and Home Protection Plan
At its most basic level, a personal and home protection plan is designed to help keep us physically, legally, financially, and morally safe. Our ultimate goal should be to avoid violent encounters in the first place by developing an acute awareness of our surroundings, and by making intelligent decisions about our actions, behavior and precautions.
Make intelligent choices, in spite of the fact that you might be well inside your rights to pursue a faster route to your vehicle through a dimly lit parking lot, that is the sort of conduct that ambush predator-criminals depend on to track down an easy victim (soft target).
