ADVICE

Prepare Before You Sit In A Theater

  • Prepare before you enter public spaces by training, gear checks, and communication with your partner.
  • Andy Stumpf recommends a visible light or weapon-mounted light, knowing backdrop risks, and pre-agreed go/no-go criteria with your spouse.
INSIGHT

Zebra Or Horse Decision Making

  • Don’t overindex on rare catastrophic events when assessing routine risks.
  • Andy uses a zebra/horse parable: statistically you're far more likely to encounter a horse, not a zebra, though you should prepare if a zebra exists.
ADVICE

Use Light To Reduce Identification Uncertainty

  • Install and check tools that reduce uncertainty at night, like tritium sights, red dots, and weapon lights.
  • Andy warns half your day happens in darkness and suggests illuminating targets to identify threats and disorient attackers.
