Right From the Front Page....

Good and timely scenario Jonas,

If living in an area where such an incident were likely, I'd cruise the destination to check for possible problems before parking up.

If we were actually caught up in such a situation, I'm pretty sure that the first person to touch my wife or daughters would get laid out flat, right there and then, probably by a single blow...... by my wife:-)

That would either diffuse things or escalate them considerably.

What EDC carry items do we carry that might mitigate the situation? None at all. If we were allowed a concealed carry 9mm that might do the trick, sending a few of them to enjoy their 59 virgins minus their dangly bits.

But seriously, there is no mitigating the Cologne event. A crowd of 1000 concealing at least 20 assailants ( that's how many have been charged so far) is only controllable by military force and lots of it.
