Fight while carrying question...

[BPTactical]

There is always an option to walk away. Being attacked is different. If im carrying i will always find a way to walk away or with as many cell phones out there someone can call for help. Just my opinion.

^^^
This should ALWAYS be your course of action, especially if carrying.
Just what are you going to do if the fight turns into a hugging match? Next thing you know you are killed with your own weapon.
Do anything and everything you can to prevent the altercation.
If all of the above fails and you are forced into a physical confrontation I would say keep it as distant and brief as possible and escape.

Well if you can't fight you get your ass kicked.

If you can't draw fast enough your gun is useless..

If you've let a threat get w/in 21' you're fucking retarded.

Or.. you're ronin.

I can fight... I can draw pretty fast, and since I'm still (happily?) single, I don't let anyone get within 21".

I'll say it again too... Disclaimer: This is my own personal thought and opinion.

If a fight is unavoidable, then you meet the resistance with unrelenting self-preservation and merciless vengeance. There is only one viable outcome - they die.

Hopefully, the smart person will see the danger in your eyes and their common sense warns them not to get involved with you...

Unfortunately, our society is not very smart these days.

Grandpa always replied when asked why he carried a gun, "Cause I'm too old to kill idiots with just my hands."

That being said, I've only been in one fistfight in my life that I couldn't walk away from or talk down. Yes, he ended in the hospital for a while. No, he didn't die (as my opinion dictates) as authorities were able to corral/step in in time. (High school, go figure)

Edit: Nowadays with a black belt, you HAVE to find a way to talk/get out of a fight... too many repercussions. It's never to late to talk down, walk away... unless someone is sticking a gun in your face, which it might be too late by then anyways, lol.

I totally understand that- but the last fight I was in (last year- I think about this time too) was the first fight in a very very long time... It was unavoidable as I got into a verbal altercation when he grabbed me and cocked his fist back, PTSD kicked in (flight at this point wasn't in the cards) and I gave him a lesson in 'why you shouldn't grab a veteran who suffers from PTSD' and when people swarmed I let off, and walked away. I walked back to my car and he confronted me again- I told him I didn't want to fight anymore and I was done, tried my best to defuse the situation, he came at me and the fight was pretty much back on. I will try my best to never let something like that happen ever again, but it's not easy for me to "just walk away" when someone provokes me past the point of no return (IE: I don't have a flight sense anymore- thanks Uncle Sam ).

Monky says 21' (feet) and Ronin says 21" (inches).
I think I'll stick with Monky on this distance.
