I'm not talking about when you are fighting, what is your weak side, but rather, if a random man came into your home with a gun, when do you think would be the time when you could least defend yourself?
So, if you go through your daily routine: Sleeping, getting up and getting ready, going to school or job, coming back, eating, and such.
When do you think you would be most vulnerable?
I know when I would be, but I'm going to wait until someone else posts. ^_^;

I'm switched on the rest of the time.

Hmmmm.....
I would have to say......well hell. I dont think I really HAVE a totally vunerable moment.
I grew up in a VERY busy household with an older suster that makes Hannibel Lector look like the ******** tooth fairy - So I had a innate awareness ingrained into me at an early age for pure suvival reasons.
I'm always pretty much on guard on some level or another - and I'm a REALLY light sleeper, a cockroach running across the wall can wake me up.
But I guess.... Either on the john, when I have some serious headphone action going..... or when I'm sleeping - cause it still takes me a minute to com fully online.

The only times I feel I would be vulnerable would be when I'm at the computer listening to music on my headphones, in my room playing guitar, or sleeping. All the other times I'm pretty aware of the situation. I've ran through scenarios in my mind of what I would do in different situations like that. In the areas of my house I spend the most of my time in, I have some kind of idea what I would do if I had to do something.

Hmm... I have to think about this one. I would normally go with during my sleep, but as a youth I used to get in lots of touble... and was too quick for my dad to whoop me as punishment. So he would wait till I sleep to lash some whoopins. Nowadays, if anyone so much as walks in while I'm sleep, I pop right up in defense mode... haha.
Sooo.... I would have to say my most vulnerable moment would have to be during intercourse with a woman of my choosing, as I would be focused on other things... thus letting my guard down for a while.

I don't have that problem as my gf's mum has walked in on us a couple of times...... I'm like a ******** coiled spring when I hear noises outside the door ninja

I am a coiled spring when it comes to sex, as well. Not that.. I'm illegally having sex at my age... Or anything. ninja
Anyway.
Definetly the toilet for me. Although since most of you said sleeping, it made me think.. I take an anti-psychotic that also has this nice side-effect of.. conking me unconcious. So. Maybe with that on mind, sleeping-after I take the pill, of course- could be my most vulnerable moment.
But otherwise, definetly taking a s**t.

Most vunrable: Anytime I am inside my house.
I almost always have music playing, the only time I dont is when my computer crashes, and Im to asleep to care.
So, sneaking up wont be hard. When I'm sleeping I can sleep through most anything, so you even get a few free ******** with the loud noises.
The time I'd be least vunrable would be on the toilet. To far away to hear my music (most of the time). Not concentraiting on anything inparticular, and the door is right infront of me, so if it opens, I know.

Mine is definitely when sleeping. I like to think I'm a reasonably light sleeper, and I know I have woken up with little provocation before, but I know for a fact there have been times when it literally took an explosion right outside my window to wake me up. A fair number of them, actually. Once I'm awake, I'm generally good - it takes me a few minutes to get conscious to the point where I'll remember it later, but my autopilot keeps me in good hands. I always have music going, but unless I have the main stereo at -20 or so, I can hear a mouse fart at any odf the viable entrances to my house. From the couch where I spend most of my time, I can reach a good assortment of weapons, see one door, and see the other if it opens.
A lot of people have said the toilet; this isn't an issue for me. I actually keep a blunt object and a few nasty throwables there. My instructor once related to me the details of his final graduation test: Go two weeks without getting your a** kicked. He will come for you at some point during this period. He also told me the story of the time he was letting another student crash at his place due to financial troubles. The student, at one point, was on going through the morning routine. He thought my instructor was asleep. Instructor wakes up, boots the bathroom door open, kicks the student in the head, says "You weren't ready.", and walks out.

Ihabia Your instructor sounds like a pretty cool guy. Yeah, he's great. Very casual, laid-back attitude, but a very effective teacher. I've just recently started with him, and the first thing h's been teaching us is constgant awareness and the ability to exploit our environment. He also stresses adaptability - he will not allow us to grow too reliant on a particular weapon. There's no problem with being comfortable with it, but unless you plan on carrying it at all times, dependancy is bad. Honestly? The moment I knew I was in good hands? When I went to my test match with him, and he said "One rule: If you don't like getting hit, block."

Hmm.. sleeping is my weakest. Sometimes I think I have about a 35% chance of waking up as soon as someone enters my bedroom- but I can sleep through 5 dogs barking, and 6 parrots screaming.
