To make up for lack of SA skills, mere civilians should NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES open carry. Second you should wear at least level 3 body armor when outside your residence.
I always exit my vehicle with a tactical roll and jump to a standing position. Any eating establishment or saloon, I never sit with my back toward the entrance, and I scan each person who enters and give them a steely eyed glare. This will elicit twitching or rapid avoidance of eye contact from outlaws.
When I enter an unfamiliar location, I come in sideways with my week side facing in, my strong side hand on my (drop-leg) holster palm in touching the pistol grip. I carry a FN 5.7 pistol and at least 5 extra mags in a pouch.
I think civilians should be required to take tactical training before being allowed the privilege of owning and carrying a handgun.

Re: Situational Awareness
One thing I always do, as an example, is sit somewhere facing the entrance to a restaurant when I go with the wife somewhere for dinner. It's that kind of stuff where you just need to pay attention to your surroundings. I completely agree with cmgee67 though, don't let yourself get completely wound up in it and ruin your good times.

Re: Situational Awareness
I still need to read through this, but I've had it bookmarked for some time.
