Dave, you pretty much described the life of a cop. I don't pull up door-to-door next to a car stopped in traffic, I stop a little behind the doors of the stopped car. I never enter a building or room without first looking inside first. I never sit in a building with my back to the door, even in my own home. I don't stand in line facing the next person in front of me with my back to the rear of the line at businesses, especially high-risk businesses like banks. I stand sideways in line so that I can see the front and rear of the business. I look at every person who walks in the door. I always look for an escape route wherever I might be. Head-on-a-swivel is not a choice, it is how you stay alive when SHTF. It's second nature to me.
