Preparing for a Safer Holiday Season: A Comprehensive Guide to Travel, Awareness, and Legalities

Hi, welcome to the Arm Guardian podcast, season one, episode seven. Today, david and I will be talking about situational awareness and travel safety for the holidays. So sit back and enjoy today's episode. It's going to be a little light, quick episode for us and we hope that. Remember a couple of things while you're out with your family or traveling or shopping, and just keep aware of your situational awareness, and we'll dive on into the content. Hey, how are you doing today, david? Doing pretty good. Mr Braun, how are you doing? Doing good you? Ready for the turkey next week.

I am.

Good I am and the dressing and all the else that comes along with it and the 15 pounds we're going to add on over this next couple of months with Thanksgiving and Christmas, with all the food and stuff. So, yeah, I'm ready for it, yep. And the Christmas candy and starter and all that stuff is going to linger around for a little bit after the holidays, because now you got to get rid of it after you cooked it all or purchased it all.

So yes, for the decorations, but I think my favorite Christmas thing is probably the music. Yeah.

I enjoy the music.

Music's my go-to, so I really enjoy listening to the music and you only get it about a month out of the year. I sometimes not stretch that.

Thankful for YouTube whenever I feel the urge to listen to something. My favorite Christmas is the Mannheim Steamboat, so if I ever feel the urge to want to listen to something like that, great for. Youtube oh yeah.

Yeah, I love the Mannheim Steamboat.

Yeah.

Great Christmas.

Yeah, okay. Well, today we want to talk about travel safety. We've got a few topics here that we're going to branch out on and, like I said, this is going to be a quick episode, but we just wanted to highlight some of the things for people to be aware of. So what we got up? First, david, All right.

So first we've got the reciprocity, which is basically different states honor other states. For instance, we live in Georgia. Georgia honors Florida's permit and Florida honors Georgia's, same with the other states that surround us, and there's other states that do that as well, and then so a lot of states. They have reciprocity with several states around. So when we're talking about reciprocity, basically it's the states agreeing to honor each other's permits, right? So we need to make sure that we have that our permits are honored by the state if we're traveling and going to a state, or and we also need to be up to date on that state's laws as well and even if we're going to a local area, even the local area falls and Mr Brian has a good resource here that he'd like to tell you all about when it comes to checking reciprocity.

Yeah, one of the course. We're USCCA instructors but they've got a great app in both the iTunes and Android app store, but it's USCCA reciprocity and I'll try to put the link in the show notes for that. But a great little app. You can put in your home permit and then it will allow. It'll show you where other states have recognized your, your permit from Georgia or in our situation, or wherever you're from and then it'll also actually give you the breakdown of law summaries or even some details on different laws for that particular state. Just knowing also that some states that do have reciprocity there are some that have limited reciprocity where you know you may can only carry a 10 round magazine instead of a whatever magazine you want to carry. Some states have ammo restrictions. Just knowing, like with us, with Georgia and Florida Georgia we can open carry, florida you cannot open carry, even with a permit. So just knowing those laws and how they will apply to you and being a well, responsibly armed citizen whenever you're traveling, it'll just stand out and give the gun community, the people around us, that hey, we know what we're doing and we're trying to, we're abiding by the laws and we're doing everything safely. So that's pretty much on the reciprocity, just. There's a couple of other apps out there, but USCCA's stays pretty on top of keeping theirs updated with the law. Constitutional carry is also something you'll want to consider. You may be in a state that has constitutional carry and you go to another state that maybe doesn't have constitutional carry yet. There's currently 27 states that have some sort of constitutional permitless carry. The others you have to have a permit to carry. So just knowing what you can and can't do will keep you and your family safe money in your pocket and you with your family, instead of spending the couple of days or spending time in a local county facility when we're traveling. David, what are some things we need to be aware of or think about with our vehicle as far as traveling?

Oh, yes, a lot of this is just simple stuff like make sure gas is in your tank, check your gas gauge, make sure you got enough gas to get where you're going, you know. Maybe plan your route so you know where your gas station to our restaurant stops, anything like that. Yeah, checking your engine oil Make sure your car's got water in it For any freeze in the wintertime.

You've got a backup for small leaks or something where you can replace that. You know if you pour the oil in the vehicle, a gallon of pre-made stooling or even just water for the emergency situation.

Absolutely. And water is really great because not only can it help you if you put it in your car, but if you have a jug of water you can even I mean, you know, considering it's drinking water, you can even drink it. So that's a good thing to have. Also, checking your tire pressure, make sure your tire tread is right, Make sure your spare tire is aired up, you know make sure you got a People.

Don't think about that.

Yeah, exactly, make sure you got a spare tire in there. Make sure that you know the jack's, all the things you need to change your tire, the handle or all of that. But yeah, it's real bad when you pull out your spare tire and it's flat.

Yeah.

Real bad feeling Are you.

I know you've got a spare in there, but you go looking for your jack and it's not there, missing or broken. And that's not the time you want to realize that I should have checked this out a little bit before you left, or something.

Hey, mr Brown. What do you think about first aid kits? Is that something that you would want to carry as your travel?

Yeah, because you know, even you know, not necessarily for pulling up on a major accident or anything how many times have you been at a park or at the store and you've gotten? Maybe a kid fell down, scraped their knee, he got in a tent, you know, in a door jam or something. Just some small cut or something. A little small first aid kit would be do a wonder. You know, give you the Keep things clean to keep it covered and using the supplies in there, the antibiotic cream to help fight infection and things like that. You don't have to have a major, large Recon kit to have a first-aid kit, but now just something in a small shoebox size case or something. They buy it. They have generic ones at Walmart, costco, sam's, stuff like that. So it's something, just something small for Now, the everyday Snicks and scratches. If you want to amp up and have things for Turnip kit and stuff, which I would recommend, but it's not necessary but just having the basics to cover the Everyday nicks and cuts and scrapes that we tend to come across while you're traveling stuff. What about guns, david? How? How should we Consider our gun safety while we're traveling?

Um, yes, I Would say a few things. Make sure your guns secure in your, in your vehicle while you're traveling, whether it be, you know, glove box, however, you secure your firearm and make sure it's secure. Also, make sure we're, you know, as we're holiday, shopping or moving from place to place you know we're getting out, going in gas station, restaurants, eat, whatever when we have that our arms secured in such a way that it's concealed if it's left in our vehicle, um, so nobody breaks into in our vehicle to steal it. Um, but it should be secure anyway. Make sure it's locked up. Yeah, so kids or somebody that doesn't need it.

You can get to it. Yeah, one and one thing, talking about the guns in the vehicle. I Get for just traveling where you're going somewhere, get out of the vehicle and you're taking your gun with you, these little magnetic Securement devices. I'm both for something like that. I would, I'm fine. I would really prefer somebody to have any anytime you have a holster or a storage for a gun to have. Whatever it's got to cover the trigger guard. So there's no chance of any negligent discharge or anything like that. But yeah, you wouldn't want to leave your uh Concealed carry pistol on that magnetic holder in the against the console while you run into the gas station or in the Restaurant or something, because then that's going to open up. Somebody walks by and who are there Intently looking and find something. Cover it up. No, use a towel or a sheet or Something to cover it up if you need to leave something in the holster in your vehicle where you can't take it in. So anything else on the.

I think that's. That's it on the fire on the forest, from a traveling right standpoint. Looking at another thing, you know we're an appropriate clothing, both for area and you know we're talking about traveling with the gun or where the weapon inside your vehicle but also If you get out of your vehicle and your weapon is on you, where the appropriate clothing. Oh right, you know if you're where you need to, you know just when the appropriate clothing, I guess, to fulfill your firearm or to be able to access it if you need to. And also you know you may be traveling a long way and I know down south here it's relatively warm out right now, but if you're traveling up north it's getting, it's probably gonna get considerably colder right. So make sure you have the appropriate clothing for traveling across those long distances where the weather may fluctuate pretty drastic.

Yeah, yeah, I think so, just because you also got to watch out, too, with the locations as you're traveling, that Some states, if you expose that weapon, even if it's concealed, it's a. It's called brandishing in some states where it can be A chargeable offense if your weapons displayed and they have a strict concealed carry Wall in their state. So, just again, follow, going back to knowing the laws of where you're gonna be traveling, where you may be getting out of, just a True purpose of concealed carry is being concealed being that gray man where you're your Arms, you're ready to act if needed, but nobody else knows what you're you're doing. So, okay, anything else on the traveling safety, david, that you can think of?

Not that I can think of. I think that covers most of you know, the travel safety. I'm sure there's probably other things we could talk about, but I think that's that's a good portion of it. Let's talk about situational awareness now. Okay, brian, how about Parking lots? A lot of people are going holiday shopping Black Friday and, after you know, getting their Christmas gifts and yeah whatever, how do we need to look at that when we're pulling into parking lots?

Well, Before we jump right into that. I think no, we talk in our classes and there's a universal Color code for your situational awareness that the Colonel Jeff Cooper came up with, and maybe we should review this here real quick. But no, as we are arms citizens, we should always remain in what they call condition yellow Just because we're armed and we're carrying a firearm. But there's four different color codes, some there has. I've heard of one that has a fifth, but that's one that I don't, I don't use all that much. It's a pretty serious Color code. If you're in that color code, you're, you're against everything at that moment. But Condition flight, that's where you're unaware and that's perfect thing that we're trying to bring awareness to in this holiday travel Episode that we're doing. We don't want to be in condition flight because that means that we're not paying attention to our surroundings. We may be caught up in getting the kids out of the vehicle, putting things in the car or getting them from the car, taking them to the house. It's just no, not being aware, not paying attention to our surroundings. Condition yellow is know where. We're aware of our surroundings. We're not. We're Billigent, but we're not hyper bill billigent, we're not paranoid, it's just no, we're looking around, we're seeing things, we're noticing things, but we're able to still continue on, even though if you're in a group of people, you're able to be in condition yellow, looking around, but still carry on conversation with your friends, family that you may be with. So that's condition yellow. You got condition orange, which is something's alerted you. You're a heightened Awareness of alertness and you've seen something that doesn't look right, but it's not something that you need to act on, maybe just yet. So you're at this point. You're looking at what are my options to escape what I saw? Do I need to retreat? Do I need to go a different way? And then we've got condition red, where you're acting, you've walked into something or walked up onto something and your only response is to Defend yourself, can't run, you can't necessarily hide, possibly, and you're having to Draw your weapon verbal commands, pepper spray or whatever is required to get out of that, that threat that you're in. So, just remembering those four color codes we talk about, we just want to stay in condition yellow. But going back to our first topic, the parking lot safety, as you're pulling into a parking lot, shopping center, gas station, even your own driveway, well being aware of your surroundings, what's going on around you? Is there anybody standing in a Not Normal place? There's somebody looking to straw Know things like that. We want to be aware of that and if we see something, especially at a shopping center, now go to another entrance or go to another spot in the parking lot. Sometimes we get our vehicles. We get pretty Pretty cautious over our vehicles. We don't like parking next to other vehicles because we don't want hours to get dinged and stuff. But you don't want to put yourself out in the furthest part of the parking lot just because you don't want your vehicle to get hit, dinged or anything like that. Because then you've got that distance to travel that you're opening yourself up for potential attack. As well. As if you're pulling into a parking lot and parking space, before you unlock your car you're looking around and then as you get out of your vehicle you're looking into the vehicle next to you just to see if anybody is in it or someone may be laying down in the back seat or something looking for an attack. Just some things to not be paranoid about, but just little indicators to watch for, things to look for to keep yourself and your safety. You got anything else on parking lot safety.

Yeah, a few things at night. If you're going shopping at night, parking in well-lit areas where the lots are pretty well, make sure you have a flashlight with you. Also, the other thing is avoid parking lots that don't have a way out that may have little choke points through them when you go into an area where it's locked in. Now sometimes parking garages would be a good example of that. Absolutely, you may not be able to avoid those. They may come up on you before you even realize it. But if you can, I would be very careful avoiding blind spots or choke points where you can't get out. If you do have to go in a place like that, where it's not easy to get out, you need to be thinking about alternate means to get away from a threat. That's the basic thing with parking lot safety. Also, even talking about parking around people, I think that's a good thing. Parking around other cars, but also with parking around other cars where the majority of people are parking, also comes to creating blind spots like that, as you're walking through a parking lot, making sure you're keeping an eye out, maybe keeping a distance from any blind spots you could see. That way, if something happens, you have some reactionary time to do what you need to do to flee or whatever you may need to do.

Yeah, and that's beating off of that. We don't want to walk in the middle of the alleys as we walk down the parking lot, but we don't want to walk right up next to another vehicle, for several reasons. One for the blind spots. Again, this is a busy holiday season. A lot of people are out shopping, getting ready for family, getting ready to go on vacation or on a trip, and their mind can be elsewhere. If you're walking right up next to the vehicles in a parking lot and someone throws it in reverse or pulls through a parking spot, they may not be aware. So it's just that visual, as you're walking up behind somebody looking into the vehicle, kind of reading what they're doing from their body language, and then also you don't want to be right up against it because you don't want to clear the corner of a vehicle and somebody be squatting down in weight looking for somebody coming by. So just some good tips for parking lot safety. What about store safety, david? We know we're in the parking lot, we've gotten out of our vehicle or we're coming out of the store. I want our transition from the parking lot to the store and from the store back to the parking lot. What's some things that we should do, and even inside the store. What are some guidelines that we should abide by?

When it comes to this, a lot of these things kind of piggyback off each other. The same safety, situational awareness we use for traveling, we're going to use in the parking lot and then, as we move into the store, we're still trying to avoid blind spots, knowing that you're going to have people around you. You can't avoid that, especially in the holiday season in a store. They're going to be close by. That's just part of going shopping. Now, if that's an issue, you might want to online shop as you're moving around, just knowing the people that are around you, keeping an idea of where they're at, what they're doing, identifying any threats or safety issues. Also, knowing the way in. But are there other ways in or ways out? Where are the emergency exits? Where are those located? The aisles A lot of holiday shopping I know there's a lot of stuff in the aisles. They've got a lot of little island merchandise and stuff like that. Making sure once again you're not moving into a choke point area or something like that where you can't get out or you can't react.

A big thing, just being aware, looking around, looking for those places. What happens if you're in a shopping mall and you go in to store XYZ? There's that one main entrance out of the main part of the mall. You go in there, you shop and around Somebody comes in with intent to do something badly. What are your options? Where is your hiding points for cover, concealment? Where should you again look for the exit points, looking for places to go to and to escape that situation? Also, with the store safety, a lot of times no parents will take their children, sometimes their infant children, with them. They'll have them in the buggy. Don't get so caught up in the shopping that you're not paying attention to your little one. Are the toddlers that aren't in the buggy but are old enough to walk beside it or something. Just paying attention to them and the surroundings around them. Because in the past few years or so in the holidays, I've heard stories and read stories where children have been attempted to be abducted because the parents are busy shopping, picking something up or trying to get help for an item. Just be aware of that with your kids. Anything else on store safety.

Just one thing I wanted to touch on. You mentioned covering concealment, just to clarify what we need. Covering concealment I think this is a good thing for most people to know. Most people do know this, actually, but there are people that don't. This is just to clarify what we need by covering concealment. Cover is anything that will stop a bullet, an engine block, old oak tree, maybe six foot wide Concrete pillar Block wall that's filled with concrete. Those would be ideas of cover. Right, you know, some of those may or may not work in different situations depending, but as a general rule, that would be covered. The summit would be like sheet rock walls, mattress.

Mattress. It's something that just hides you. It's not that's the only protection that concealment is doing is it's hiding your image from the view of somebody else. Basically.

But as a general rule, bullets can still penetrate. Yes, consilment, yep. So just wanted to clear that up also. And when this kind of goes with our next topic we're going to talk about restaurant safety. But I think this one actually kind of covers a little bit of all of the above and that's having a safety plan in place If you have a spouse, if you have children or maybe family members that are with you, maybe that you care for, or whatever the case may be. Right, have a plan and let them know. You know if you say get down, they know to get down or to move. You know that way, when you say something, they know that they're looking for danger around them and they're trying to get out, get to an exit, whatever, you know A duress or action word.

Once that word is put out, they're alert, they're put into that condition yellow or orange but then they also are aware of what's going on, that you're not trying to push somebody and they don't know what's going on because you didn't have a code word or duress word or something. So just having that duress or action word that should be. Once that's spoken, that oh boy, something's about to happen. We need to act. We have our plan. If this word is spoken, what we're going to do, what each person's responsibility is.

And go from there. And I would say, even going back to your other thing, you know we're moving from this and yellow at the point we hear that word or get down, or whatever we should immediately elevate addition yellow to condition orange or condition red, depending on the situation. So you know, having that in place to where the people around you family, whatever it may be they know that what to do and how to respond when something like that happens, yeah.

And if you're out shopping, both parking lot and store be have somebody watching. Say you have a teenage child or your spouse you're looking at something for the kids and or you've got your eye on something, Having the other partner or friend that you may be with looking around at the surroundings while you're so involved in that object or getting help for that, to get help to see something in the shelf or something Just to play off of each other. If you have multiple people, I would recommend, if possible, having a buddy or going with somebody to kind of be as your your six person watching your six.

So absolutely, I think I mean you know not to bring back our, our military days, but I mean you know, when you were in the army or those here, you had a battle buddy.

Yeah.

Um, and that was important. Yeah, and you know you had a lifelong relationship with that person, or at least while you were in, you know, probably I mean you didn't go anywhere without him or without them. So you know that that was important. So I think the same thing here, you know, right.

Yeah, so um, moving on from the store, safety. We've gone shopping, got into the parking lot, got back to their vehicle. Uh hey, we're hungry, let's go grab a bite. We've been shopping all day long. I don't want to cook. We go to a restaurant. What are some things, david, that make restaurants? Or while eating out? Uh, aware, so um.

Well, and I think you know, restaurant, a lot of this is similar as we as we move from thing to thing, so a lot of the things are going to carry over. And then that I would say you know things that would be important would be to, you know, picking a, picking a good place to sit, um, sitting somewhere where, um, maybe you're you're kind of out of the way, maybe close to an exit, um, you know where you can get out fairly quick. You know, if you're sitting in a booth and you got a bunch of people and everybody's got to jump out around the booth, that might not be a good idea.

Right, you're kind of in that death tunnel, as we call it, or I've called it. Uh, you know where you're. You're basically stuck. Um, you're at a dead end where, if you're sitting at a standard table at a restaurant, um, if something happens, you are at least able to flip over the table, to give you some sort of sealant, to Come up with a plan. All things are going down to get out and again, no, you'd want to be close to an exit. I always be aware of your exit points and Just review an exit strategy. You always, always have a plan for after an incident, both home or out in the public. If, if things go bad, our action or duress words put out, we escape. If we're all, if we're not all together, we have to go different ways. Where is our rally point? What do we do? Do we text the call? What, what? What's our exit strategy and what do we do after we digress from that situation?

So, and another thing about that is these are not just Issue for self-defense, but just, you know what if there was a fire?

Yeah, what if there was any any other kind of natural disaster or yeah, I was gonna say just take advantage of everything, though it's not necessarily just here in the holiday these tips are Good year-round is just we? We get so caught up in everything that we don't we tend to lose sight of some of our safety. We unintentionally drop, relax our safety because we're staying so active, trying to get everything Done quickly, go and shop and getting what we need and get back home or to the car to their family, that we sometimes will just let things fall and We'll drop our guards, so to speak. So just these are all things that you can use year-round but we want to bring to highlight with the holiday season coming up. See anything else on the Situation awareness outside the home that we haven't discussed or you want to.

I think that pretty much includes.

All right. Last topic, on the safety. You've gotten out to Go shopping, you bait. Now you're coming home, some things you want to do know, of course, parking lot safety that we discussed. You do the same thing in your driveway as you're pulling up to your house, looking for any unusual cars that aren't normal people hanging out in an area that you don't know or is Not normal for your area, for your residents, neighborhood. So whenever you pull into your driveway, if you have a Garage one thing that a lot of people know we pull into the garage and we want to jump out of our car quick while the Garage doors closing. Let that garage door close our open. It's full cycle. If you're going to the car, get in your car, then open up the garage door and back out, and if you're coming in, pull into the garage, close the door and then unlock and get out of your vehicle. That's just giving you that extra barrier in case somebody was to try to breach that garage door While it's opening or closing to conduct an attack at Robbery or something like that.

So and yeah, I mean and a few other things to me would be you know, most of the time these are things that most people, I think probably would hopefully do as a general rule. But as we move into the holiday season, you know we've got friends over, family, of People in and out of our homes. Maybe we're at somebody else's home, you know. We're relaxed where it's easy to let our guard down. You know, but just simple things, not making sure we're locked in our doors, locking our windows. You know our house is lit, which, with Christmas season coming up, that shouldn't be a problem, because I know a lot of people, including myself, like you A lot of lights and that's a good thing. That's a good thing, and then you know I Would say those are probably the most important thing. This brown, would you like that anything?

Yeah, no, if we, if you have the availability Now, keep your up close to your house. General appearance kind of neat and orderly. You know you don't want to have your Shrubs overgrown where something someone could hide back in behind them waiting, but no, they may. You may not be able to see behind them, but you could, you. There's trimmed up neat to where it makes it easier to notice something Maybe lying in wait. If you have a security system Steady, regularly Whenever you go to open up your door that you've got a remote, don't disarm it right away. Wait until you Unlock your door and you're going into your house. Most alarm come alarm have a delay, it'll open up the door, breaks that contact, the alarm will go into its delay cycle. If you disarm your alarm and then you go in, open up the door and everything to go in, somebody comes in and bum, rushes you inside the house. You've already got your alarm deactivated. If you would have kept it armed while you're going in. If you Don't, you got that 30 second or however long that Delay is before the alarm sounds. Once that alarm sounds, one the audible alarm going to go and then that's also going to go to your local Alarm center to get dispatched the appropriate law enforcement because they've got an active alarm where that just is just an extra security thought, and I know some places, some alarms. They may have them set where once you immediately open up the door, the alarm goes off. But if you've got a delay, use that delay to your advantage. And then, having that family plan like we talked about, know what's going to happen we do fire Firescape fire alarm plans what happens if we have a fire at the house where we're going to meet and everything. Have the same thing for your, your home, for your home defense. Just have your safe rooms where your home defense fire going to be placed at. You want to talk a little bit about the home defense Things that we might want to consider.

With our home defense checklist I think we pretty much covered up a pretty good bit of all of the the above I'm telling me, think For a minute if there anything else I Would say. And one other thing is you know a lot of people like the motion. I have some of my house that are activated by motion. You know, I mean that's not just a holiday thing, but a year-round thing. Right, those are good, because not only does it startle somebody that may be coming you know okay, either, you know that doesn't need to be at your home but also it's a good warning system. You right, as you see the lot.

Yeah, and something that we talked briefly about a home alarm. But a lot of people are getting these doorbell cameras, our outdoor security cameras. Before you open up the door, somebody Knocks at your door. You don't just open up the door. Hopefully you look through the peephole, your window or something. Look, see what's out there. Are you expecting a package? Somebody comes in. I got a package. Or I got a pizza for so-and-so. Did somebody order it Did? Are you expecting a package? If not, don't open that door Before you go out. Just on a daily routine, don't just blindly go out your exit door, go to your car to go to work or to church or wherever. Look outside before opening up the door. When you open up the door, have your foot behind the door, where it's cracked open for just a little bit, where you've got a little bit of resistance, where, if somebody does try to rush in, you've got some sort of resistance, where hopefully you're able to get to your concealed firearm or whatever your home defense method is to protect yourself. But that's just something that you know. A little tip there as far as using your foot, you're not going to stop them from coming in, but you're going to give them a little bit of resistance, where you give yourself a couple seconds to react.

Absolutely. And then another thing is even you know, I think, keeping a lot of people have an exterior, have a screen door or glass door and then the actual wood door. You know, maybe keeping that door locked so that way you can open up, you can see who's there and it's not going to, you know, if it's glass or screen or whatever, it's not going to stop somebody that really wants to get in there, but it will give you time to react, to shut the wood door and get safety on our home, whatever you may need to do. So you know that would be a good thing to have. You don't already have one? I know a lot of houses do.

Yeah, a lot of you know you may have some like an apartment complex. Most apartment complexes don't have screen doors or security doors. So having that extra, that deep hole, or using that foot to kind of be a door stop for a moment. Just some tips there for you guys to stay safe.

Or even the old chain lock where you can open the door. You know, stay three or four inches to where you can see what's on the other side. That might be it.
