Do you feel safe?

In wake of the senseless murder of William "Bo" Kirk, 41, of Coeur d'Alene, allegedly by a road rager, do you feel less safe today? KXLY reporter Jeff Humphrey explores that question in a sidebar story re: the murder of Kirk, who may not have realized that he was even part of a road rage incident:

Kirk's death gives us good reason to reevaluate our personal safety. Center Target Sports firearms instructor Ed Santos can teach just about anyone how to use a gun to defend themselves or their family, but what Santos really wants you to know is how to avoid a deadly force situation all together. “There's no firearm skill that I can teach anyone that will keep them safer than raising their level of awareness,” Santos said.

Question: Have you re-considered your habits, especially at night, since the Kirk murder?
