11: Get off the X! Ambush and Counter Ambush Tactics

Ambush is a term that we tend to overuse to mean any attack that catches us off guard. We are going to define the term ambush and, more importantly, define the counter-tactics to apply if you are ambushed. The important thing to realize is that the sooner you identify an imminent or in-progress ambush, the sooner you are able to effectively respond to it. So we have to make sure we aren't getting too wrapped in the semantics here, it only matters if your counter-tactics apply. We're going to look at a handful of civilian case studies and discuss what those ambush tactics and counter-tactics look like so you might be able to pick up on them if they are ever happening to you.  Opening Story Links to Active Self Protection, thanks John!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zpA2IZNTRY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYIGWVdCZGM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRhzk8SYm-M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLmoERgcTx8 Clear and Present Danger Gift of Fear  Remember that we publish new episodes on the 1st and the 15th of every month!
