Fight while carrying question...

[Ronin13]

So I posed this question in the GD topic "Self Defense?" but it would be appropriate info here if it can be answered...
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.

I'll say it again: A credible threat of serious injury or death justifies a level of force necessary to end the threat(ETA: And no more).

That being said, I'll do what's necessary to avoid a fight, short of sustaining serious injury. With a firearm in my waistband, there's conveniently no room for any ego.

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.

Which is about as likely as a meteor, carrying a Martian, landing in my back yard this afternoon.

In 46 years, I've yet to be involved in a fist fight. Common sense goes a long ways.

Anything can be avoided.

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".
