War Quote by Jon Gutmacher
““I’d also have my cellular with me, and call 911 right there if the guy refused. In this day and age, I advise people that the cellular phone is your best defense against anything. Use it at the beginning of any potential conflict. Make sure it’s programed to call 911.””
