For us in the northern hemisphere, winter is coming. Temperatures are dropping, and for most of us that means clothing changes.

If you carry some sort of self-defense tool: gun, taser, pepper spray, knife, whatever (and maybe you carry a combination of those), can you still access that tool quickly and effectively with your change of clothing?

Are you wearing more layers of clothing?

Are you now wearing a heavy coat? That you close?

Are you wearing gloves?

Take some time to practice with your change in attire. Make sure it all still works for you.
