Now drop back to the shot of Chris Walken. Same look, even more intense.

Mine were: Ted Bundy, John Gacy, and the Green River Killer.

The problem can be in knowing how "no good" they are. A salesman who's planning to scam you may have the same look as a mugger using a salesman cover to get close. Unfortunately, shooting the salesman is frowned upon.

The data sides of two CDs running against each other will make a pretty decent bearing for a telescope. For smoother action, one CD, data side up, with three of those teflon slider pads made for furniture running against it gives a really slick action with very little backlash.

Stick it out at 100 yards and practice shooting through the hole. Feel bad briefly if you miss.

Line an old C-band satellite dish with them to use as a solar concentrator and cook hot dogs in seconds.

Yeah, us sensible people didn't wait until we started carrying.

Situational awareness is more than just seeing everyone who is out there. It is also about ascertaining their intentions.

Things like noticing that the "Mormon missionaries" weren't wearing nametags.

What? You mean we shouldn't trust guys like this well-dressed gentleman just on looks?


What about this political activist?


And surely this guy is just the average, everyday citizen he appears to be.


See what trusting the well-dressed, clean cut guys can get you?
