One of the rules of personal protection is managing your personal space and being aware of your surroundings. It’s more than just moving toward the light and away from the darkness. It’s more than moving toward places where people are, and away from places where you are alone. It’s all about developing a mindset or attitude that you will never let anyone take you anyplace or anywhere.

Never Let Them Take You Anywhere.

You see, if I want to rob you, I can rob you right here. If I want to steal your watch or your purse, I can do that right here. But if you allow yourself to be taken someplace, like into the alley, a stairwell, or into a hotel room, you are at least going to get raped.

Never let anyone take you anywhere, especially into a vehicle. And you don’t have to take my word for it. We’ve learned this lesson from some real experts. Jeff Dahmer pulled 17 victims into his car. Wayne Williams had 27. John Wayne Gacy took 33 into his vehicle. And Ted Bundy dragged 45 into his car.

Every day across this country, the police find dead people in the woods. So you might think to yourself, “I better stay out of the woods if I don’t want to get killed.” But these people weren’t killed in the woods. They were dragged into cars, killed, and then their bodies were dumped into the woods.

Never let anyone take you into a car, or anywhere else. The criminal wants to get you to someplace where he has even more control over you. He wants to get you to a place where you have an even lesser chance of escape. Where do you think you have the better chance to escape-when this guy first grabs you, or after he’s got you tied up and stuffed into the trunk of his car? You’ve got to do whatever it takes to stay out of that car.

One method might be to try to grab his fingers and peel them back to escape his grip. Scream. Yell. Another idea might be to go limp, and collapse to the ground like dead weight. Some people have escaped by pretending to be mentally ill, or pretending to be having a heart attack. If he’s got you by the coat, come out of your coat. Let him have the coat.

What if he has a gun?

Somebody is pointing a gun at you. Quick, what do you do? If you had to hesitate before answering this question, you just lost, because you took too long.

I’m not talking about what you should do if you are robbed while working at a store. In a case like that, you basically want to comply with the gunman’s demands (such as “Give me all the $10′s and $20′s,” or “Put all the money from the cash register into this bag.”) The thinking is that the quicker he gets out of the store, the quicker you’ll be safe.

What I’m talking about here is what do you do if someone points a gun at you out on the street and wants you to go someplace with him, like into a car. While there are no guarantees I’m going to suggest if someone points a gun at you, that you make a break for it and run…right away.

19 years ago Jacob Wetterling was abducted in St. Joseph, Minnesota by a man with a mask, a gun and a van. He was never found. Mrs. Wetterling, Jacob’s mother, is the first to admit that Jacob was never taught what to do if someone pointed a gun at him. Had he broke and run right away, there is a good chance Jacob would still be with us today.

If someone points a gun at you, if you break and run right away, the chance your assailant will 1) actually fire his weapon, 2) hit a moving target and 3) inflict a serious or life threatening wound is about 1%. Even if you are shot or stabbed, those wounds are treatable. But if you allow yourself to get into a car with someone, because he has a gun or knife, that may be the last anyone sees of you.

The choice comes down to this: would you rather take your chance with a gunshot or knife wound, or disappear completely? In other words, if we find you lying in the parking lot we can treat you for a gun shot wound or a knife wound, but we can’t treat you if we can’t find you, and if you get in the car there is a good chance we won’t find you.

I can’t tell you what to do, you’ll have to decide for yourself. But I’m telling you what I’d do, and what I recommend my family and loved ones do. That is to break and run, right away. Even if you get shot, we can get you medical aid. Sure you might not make it. But you’ve got a heck of a lot better chance than if you are just plain executed. It’s your choice, but my suggestion is if someone points a gun or knife at you, break and run right away. And never, I mean never, let yourself be taken into a vehicle.
