It's also a way better visual.

Remember the first time my kids wanted to go to the theater and they thought that sitting in the front row was the best way to experience a movie.

And then they had neck pain because you're like, ah, staring up and you can like barely focus your eyes because it's so close to your face.

If you're into that, cool.

If you're not into that, the higher seats are better, not only for high ground, but for a viewing experience as well.

Okay, so a lady sitting next to the door got up, walked to the door.

Actually, hold on.

I like to sit at the very top of the rows so I maintain higher ground, but I do my best to enjoy public settings without the paranoia and try to replace it with preparedness.

Good call.

I support everything so far.

A lady sitting near the door got up, walked to the door, and opened it for the stranger on the other side.

As she walked towards the door, I wanted to become vocal.

However...

What ran through my mind was I would have to shout very loud to have her hear me as it was on a very loud scene.

That shouting could cause fear and a response with someone else in the theater, and I didn't want to become a target myself nor my wife in any way.

My mind raced.

I thought of Aurora, Colorado, where a shooting where this exact thing happened, and that's how the shooter got entry into the theater before shooting it up.

I sat there.

My left hand lifted my shirt and I placed my right hand on my pistol grip.

Also a P365 fuse.
