The scenario is you are somewhere, you are carrying, and unable to deescalate a tense situation and a person wants to get into a fist fight with you, and there is no avoiding it. What do you do? Keep in mind variables like- What if the person is a better fighter than you? Bigger? Stronger? What happens when/if they discover you are armed? What if you are put in a position where you can be disarmed by your assailant? No I don't plan on getting in any fights, but since I carry just about all the time, I'm curious about your options in a case where a fight is unavoidable and flight is impossible.
Ability, Opportunity, Jeopardy...

If its obvious there's a disparity of force and bad guy demonstrates AOJ, I'm going to equalize matters quickly. If bad guy goes for my gun, I guarantee it isn't to borrow it, I'm going to use it as well.

In any event, I seek to always avoid confrontations, or if involved in one without my choosing, will try to avoid escalation. I always have a less-lethal option available as well, taser C2, OC or (most often) a kubotan.
