And that's one of the reasons why I normally walk one pace and to the 'off-hand' side of people when I think a situation may happen. Unless, of course, there's more than one of us security-type goons in the group. Then I'm either walking point and making path or playing 'caboose'.
It takes a lot less time to react to something in front of you then behind you.
but yeah, that's why I wasn't thinking less of Paul until I knew exactly how far away he was when this went down.
There have been far too many "If I was there ... yada yada yada ..." running around about this incident. Most from people who've never been in a fight or flight situation.
