Chapter Seven :: Ambush & Vehicle Tampering

"In  an argument, the one holding the gun inevitably wins  - so why get into the argument?” 

In this final chapter, we need to briefly cover the possibility of finding yourself out of your depth and face  to face with some kind of weapon. In contrast to the hijacking scenarios already discussed, we need to consider straightforward  aggression that may involve the use of some kind of weapon.

As a PI, the majority of your work will involve mundane forms of data acquisition, routine searching for people etc. In addition, there are also occasional jobs that will involve dealing with the more sinister ele­ments of society. It may well be that these elements will think nothing of using a weapon to prevent you from enquiring about them or from approaching them directly. This leaves the Pl in a quandary, to use a weapon himself, or to avoid  this type of work. The sensible among you will choose the latter course, but  if you find yourself in a potentially dangerous situation, a little preparation will prevent a lot of pain and anguish later.
