Through the joys of the Internet, I was exposed to two similarly themed articles in the past couple days. I figure they’re worth putting together and sharing.

They are two articles with simple advice for how to stay safe and avoid trouble.

Tom, as a LEO, gives us his “magic self-defense formula”.

Tam gives us a short treatise on how not to get killed.

(Tom? Tam? coincidence?) 🙂

Short answer: don’t be involved in criminal activity, directly (e.g. dealing drugs) or indirectly (e.g. being out at 3 AM in a neighborhood known for drug dealing).

Give them both a read. They’re short and to the point.
