Welcome to my new blog

WELCOME! You will find a broad range of topics here-- all related to the topic of crime and personal safety. Understand that putting the word "Wisconsin" in the title does not mean this is of interest only, or even primarily, to people who live in Wisconsin. I am located in Wisconsin, USA. Occasionally an installment will be specific to Wisconsin, e.g., legislation in this state. But most subject matter is relevant regardless of location. My goal is to provide a resource for the reader to broaden their knowledge of the many things that go into keeping yourself safe in our less-than-perfect world.  Obviously there is no guarantee that you can avoid all harm in this world, but there are many things that can be done to better your odds. Topics that you can expect to see presented here include: The importance and cultivation of awareness training to avoid becoming a victim Carrying and using weapons Recognition of different types of violence and best practices for avoidance T
