“Rikki Whitaker survived a stabbing outside of her gym in early one morning in March,” 10tv.com reports. “She’s now out of the hospital and learning self-defense . . . she and her fellow gym members, are empowering themselves by pulling the trigger.” Good for her, in that better late than never sort of way. Here’s the problem: while an attack is most likely to occur outside a gym, there’s no guarantee it won’t go down inside. As it did in the 2009 Collier Township LA Fitness shooting. A spree killer entered an aerobics class, removed two 9mm handguns from a duffel bag and fired 52 times, murdering four people and wounding nine others. So, do you carry while exercising? If so, how? If not, do you think you’ll make it to your locker or car? Or do you depend on situational awareness and a Sarah Ahrens-like non-ballistic plan for counterattack? [h/t HT]
