Click here for more >> On Saturday, I attended a ten hour class to get a concealed handgun license (CHL). A few of my friends took the class with me, and that helped make the long classroom time a little more bearable. At the end of the class, all sixty of us went to a pistol range to demonstrate our ability to handle a handgun without harming anyone. The shooting was much more fun than the actual learning, but my ears did perk up when a young sharpshooter named Josh talked to us about how important it is to be aware of our surroundings. He said that people can generally be found in one of four different zones. I was surprised that the Twilight Zone was not one that he was going to talk about! White Zone - This is where most people are most of the time. They're walking or driving along, minding their own business, and not paying attention to anything going on around them. When you're in this zone, if you're at the gas station filling up your tank, you may be standing there just watching the numbers roll by on the pump. Someone could be stealing your purse out of the car, but you don't know it because you're looking the other way. Sound familiar? Yellow Zone - Using the gas station scenario, if you're in this zone, you're aware of things around you. First of all, you lock your car door, making sure you have the keys first, when you get out of the car. You pay for the gas and get the pump going, but you're watching the people around you. You may even make contact or start up some small talk with the person at the pump next to you. The key here is to make sure people know you see them. Orange Zone - Being in this zone, you're aware enough of the situations around you that you rely on your intuition to avoid trouble. Notice the guy nervously looking around as he fills his tank. Is he just late for an appointment, or is he driving a stolen car? Is he watching for a woman who leaves her purse on the front seat? Unfortunately, you just don't know. Keep your eyes open and soak up everything going on around you. If you notice any unusual activity before you stop the car, just keep moving and get out of the lot. Red Zone - This is where you want to be. You saw the crazy guy and decided to keep going. You assessed the situation as you looked for an open pump. You had a clear head and were able to protect yourself from something that could have been dangerous. But there's something else you needed to do to allow you to move on. You had to make sure you kept enough gas in your tank that you weren't in crisis mode yourself! It's always a good idea to keep gas at least at a quarter tank. If you'd been driving along in the white zone, paying no attention to your surroundings, or your empty gas tank, then you might have had no other option but to stop there. You can apply these zones to just about anything in life. It doesn't take any more time to walk and pay attention than it does to walk around with your head in the clouds. I'm not telling you to stop walking. I just want you to be aware of what's going on around you. It could save your life.
