Last week an 18 YO woman was standing by her broken down car waiting for a tow truck near a local mall when a random person walking by shot her. Apparently just because he felt like it. *

In the world we're living in you'd better assume any stranger approaching you is at least potential threat

Again, Jeff Cooper (the guy who actually came up with the color code) sees it differently
