Hi guys - - I wanted to take the time to share 2 recent situations that really tested my situational awareness and preparedness. The first situation was the Richmond Hills explosion in Greenwood only a couple of miles down the road, followed up by someone repeatedly pounding on my door and ringing the door bell in the middle of the night a couple of days ago.
Most importantly out of all of this I realized that I MUST have my tools in the same spot at all times. When I was awakened in the middle of the night, I had to first find my glasses, then get dressed, grab my firearm, then search for my flashlight in a drawer. I quickly realized that I wasn't prepared at all and was relying way too much on what I thought I had in place.
Do any of you have suggestions for keeping your firearm and flashlight in a place that is very instinctual and easy to grab in a moments notice? Additionally what about those of you who rely on glasses, how do you ensure you can always find your glasses within a sec or two?
